When a Client’s Experience Says It All: A Five-Star Review for AJR Public Adjusters


How One Couple’s Experience with Flood Damage Became a Helpful Recommendation for Arizona Homeowners

At AJR Public Adjusters, we understand how overwhelming the insurance claims process can be. When your home or business suffers damage, you want answers, guidance, and someone who will look out for your interests.

That’s why receiving reviews like this one from our clients, Stephanie and Russell, means so much to us.

From Researching Insurance Claims to Experiencing a Flood

Stephanie and Russell first discovered AJR Public Adjusters while researching flood damage and the insurance claims process. At the time, they were simply gathering information.

They had no idea how valuable that research would become.

Later, when their vacation rental suffered a flood, they already knew who to call.

In their recent five-star Nextdoor review, they shared:

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Stacy & Bruce! We first discovered AJR Public Adjusters while researching flood damage and the insurance claims process. When we later experienced a flood at our vacation rental, we were so grateful to have found them!”

Their experience is a reminder of something we often tell homeowners: You don’t want to wait until you’re dealing with property damage to learn how the insurance claims process works.

Having Someone in Your Corner Makes a Difference

When property damage occurs, the questions start almost immediately.

What damage is covered? What needs to be documented? How much will repairs cost? Is the insurance company’s estimate enough to cover the damage?

These are questions most property owners don’t deal with regularly.

As public adjusters, we work for the policyholder, not the insurance company. Our job is to evaluate and document the damage, review the insurance policy, prepare the claim, and negotiate with the insurance company on our client’s behalf.

For Stephanie and Russell, having someone guide them through that process made a difference.

They wrote:

“Their kindness, expertise, responsiveness, and genuine care made all the difference during a stressful time.”

They also shared that we answered their questions, saved them time, and helped them feel supported throughout the process.

That’s exactly what we want for every client.

The Best Advice? Be Prepared Before You Need Help

One part of Stephanie and Russell’s review especially stood out to us:

“Our advice? Save their number today!”

They continued:

“Hopefully you’ll never need it, but if you do, you’ll be grateful to have them in your corner.”

We couldn’t agree more.

Most people don’t think about hiring a public adjuster until they’ve experienced a fire, water leak, storm damage, or another unexpected loss.

But understanding your options before something happens can save you time and frustration later.

Just as you keep the contact information for a trusted plumber or electrician, knowing who to call for help with an insurance claim can be equally important.

More Than Just an Insurance Claim

Stephanie and Russell ended their review with words we won’t soon forget:

“We appreciate you both more than you know and couldn’t recommend you enough!”

After more than 38 years of experience in the adjusting profession, Bruce knows that every insurance claim involves more than damaged property and repair estimates.

Behind every claim are people trying to get their lives, homes, or businesses back to normal.

For us, the most rewarding part of our work is knowing we’ve helped someone through a difficult situation.

Stephanie and Russell, thank you for trusting AJR Public Adjusters and taking the time to share your experience. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation.

Helping Neighbors Find Help When They Need It

One of the things we appreciate most about Stephanie and Russell’s review is that they chose to share their experience on Nextdoor.

Nextdoor is a place where neighbors turn to one another for recommendations, advice, and trusted local businesses.

By taking the time to share their experience, Stephanie and Russell did more than leave us a wonderful review. They helped other homeowners in our community learn that help is available when they’re dealing with property damage and an insurance claim.

When a pipe bursts, a storm damages your roof, or a fire affects your home, knowing who to call can make a difficult situation a little easier.

That’s what makes recommendations from neighbors so valuable. They help people find someone they can trust, often when they need help the most.

We’re grateful to Stephanie and Russell not only for their kind words, but also for helping other Arizona homeowners discover AJR Public Adjusters before they find themselves facing an unexpected loss.

Your Insurance Company Has an Adjuster. Who Is Representing You?

If your home or business suffers property damage, remember that you have the right to hire your own licensed public adjuster to represent your interests.

At AJR Public Adjusters, we help Arizona property owners understand their insurance claims and work toward a fair settlement under the terms of their policies.

Prevent Dryer Fires: Key Maintenance Tips for Safety

Dryer Lint: A Hidden Fire Hazard You Shouldn’t Ignore

A large clump of lint rests on a tiled floor in the corner of a laundry room. This hidden buildup was removed during a professional dryer cleaning arranged by AJR Public Adjusters to highlight the serious fire risks associated with neglected dryer maintenance.
This large clump of lint was pulled from a dryer during a professional cleaning arranged by AJR Public Adjusters. It’s a powerful reminder of the hidden fire hazards that can accumulate over time without regular maintenance.

At AJR Public Adjusters, we’ve helped countless homeowners recover from devastating fire losses—and more often than you’d think, those fires started in a laundry room.

Most people are good about clearing the small lint tray after each load. But what’s often forgotten is that lint doesn’t just stop there. It builds up inside the dryer and along the dryer vent ductwork that snakes through the walls and out of your home. That hidden buildup is a real fire risk.

A large pile of lint sits on the floor next to a removed dryer panel and lint screen, collected during a professional dryer cleaning arranged by AJR Public Adjusters. The image highlights the volume of hidden lint buildup that can pose a serious fire hazard if not properly addressed.
This pile of lint was removed from inside a dryer during a cleaning coordinated by AJR Public Adjusters. It’s a clear example of how much hidden debris can accumulate over time—posing a major fire risk if not addressed through regular professional maintenance.

We’re sharing this today because we just had our own dryer serviced, and we were shocked by how much lint had accumulated. Not only did our technician pull out two large clumps like the ones shown in the photos, but we had already emptied two full Dustbuster containers of lint into the trash before taking the pictures. That’s how much had collected out of sight.

Our yearly tip: Have your dryer professionally cleaned and inspected at least once a year.

Here’s what we recommend:

  • Continue cleaning the lint tray after every load.
  • Have a professional disassemble your dryer annually to remove internal lint buildup.
  • Hire a qualified vent cleaning service to clear out the ducts that carry lint from the dryer to the outside of your home.

This isn’t just a suggestion. It’s an important safety measure. Dryer fires are preventable, and we’ve seen firsthand how much damage they can cause.

If you need a referral to someone reliable, feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to connect you with trusted professionals who do thorough, honest work.

Stay safe and stay alert. One small step now can prevent a major loss later.
