Your insurance claim is officially closed—now what? Many homeowners mistakenly think the process ends with a payout, but important post-claim steps remain. In this comprehensive guide, we break down the 7 essential things you need to do after your claim is finalized: from organizing documents and requesting recoverable depreciation, to reviewing your insurance policy with a public adjuster and considering a supplemental claim. We also explain when supplements are allowed (and when they're not), how to avoid future issues, and why updated documentation matters for future losses. Whether you’ve just completed a small water loss or a major fire claim, this checklist helps you protect your property, streamline any future claims, and stay ahead of insurance company tactics. A must-read for Florida homeowners, realtors, and property managers.
