In the Spartanburg and Greenville corridor, Tiger Adjusters is fronted by owner-operator Nick Sullivan, a licensed public adjuster who works directly for property owners across the Upstate, from Boiling Springs and Inman to Simpsonville, Easley, Gaffney, and Mauldin. He handles the full range of residential losses, water, wind, fire, hail, theft, vandalism, and storm damage, starting with free property inspections and complimentary policy reviews before ever filing a claim.
Behind the local shingle sits a national platform. Tiger Adjusters bills itself as the first tech-enabled public adjusting franchise in the United States, founded by CEO Ted Patestos and headquartered in Toms River, New Jersey. That means Sullivan arrives armed with tools most policyholders never see on their own, electronic moisture meters, aerial drones, MatterPort 3D scanners, and laser measuring gear, to document damage the way a carrier cannot easily dispute.
The network draws on decades of combined insurance industry experience and, by its own count, has settled hundreds of claims and recovered millions of dollars for clients, backed by a 4.9-star Google rating. Every Tiger adjuster is state-licensed, and the model pairs local ownership with a standardized, technology-driven process built to represent the insured, never the insurer.
A public adjuster is the only kind of adjuster licensed to work for you, the policyholder, not the insurance company. They document the loss, build a detailed scope and estimate, read the policy for coverage you may have missed, and negotiate the payout with the carrier, working on a percentage of what you recover.
A public adjuster is not a contractor and not an attorney: they cannot make repairs, file suit, or give legal advice. See what a public adjuster actually does and when to hire one.
South Carolina sets no statutory percentage cap; the fee is negotiated in the written contract, which must carry the disclosures required by S.C. Code Title 38, Chapter 48. Read the percentage and what it applies to before you sign.

Get the exact legal name and license (or NPN) number, then confirm an active public adjuster license in the state where your property sits. Do it on the official roster, never take the number on a business card at face value.
South Carolina Department of Insurance licensee lookup →A public adjuster is the right call when the carrier agrees the loss is covered but the check is too low. When the carrier denies coverage outright, alleges misrepresentation, sits on the claim past the statutory deadlines, or acts in bad faith, that is legal territory a public adjuster cannot enter.
If your claim was denied rather than merely underpaid, start with a free attorney review; see public adjuster vs. attorney, why claims get denied, and the deadlines that protect your rights.
