When severe weather, water intrusion, or building system failure affects an office park, property owners face a complex recovery process. Unlike single-building claims, these commercial properties involve multiple structures, tenants, and high-value finishes — each requiring detailed documentation and specialized coordination.
At Willis, Willis & Willis Public Adjusters (Willis Public Adjusters), we help property owners, facility managers, and investors across California, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Georgia, and Nevada manage large-loss commercial claims. From curtain wall and roof damage to tenant improvement (TI) claims, our expertise ensures that every element of the loss is fully documented, properly valued, and negotiated for fair settlement.
Understanding the Complexities of Office Park Claims
Office park claims involve layered ownership and occupancy responsibilities. While the property owner typically insures the structure and common areas, tenants often carry policies for interior build-outs, equipment, and business interruption.
Without coordinated claim management, confusion between these policies can delay payments and reduce recovery. A public adjuster bridges those gaps by aligning every scope and document under one consistent, well-supported claim strategy.
Curtain Wall Systems: Hidden Damage, Expensive Repairs
Curtain wall systems — the glass and aluminum façades common in modern office buildings — are vulnerable to impact, wind, and water intrusion. Even minor structural movement or seal failure can lead to long-term issues like:
- Water infiltration behind wall panels
- Sealant deterioration or detachment
- Insulation and energy loss
- Corrosion of framing members
These systems are expensive to repair and often require specialized engineers or glazing experts. Because insurance carriers sometimes classify curtain wall damage as “cosmetic,” having a technical inspection and detailed report from your public adjuster ensures the claim reflects the full scope of damage and necessary remediation.
Roof Damage: Commercial Systems Require Expert Assessment
Commercial roofs — including TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen, and metal systems — demand careful inspection after storms or leaks. While some damage is visible, hidden moisture beneath the membrane or within insulation layers often goes unnoticed.
We use infrared (IR) thermography and core sampling to identify water intrusion and trapped moisture accurately. This data supports full replacement when warranted, instead of temporary patching that insurers often suggest.
Our team also verifies coverage for related items such as:
- Flashing and coping replacement
- HVAC curb and equipment disconnections
- Drainage and slope corrections
- Code-required upgrades and warranties
By presenting detailed, evidence-based estimates, we help ensure insurers pay what’s necessary to restore the roof system to pre-loss condition.
Tenant Improvements (TI): Who Pays for What?
Tenant improvements — from interior walls and flooring to lighting, millwork, and fixtures — often represent significant value within each leased suite. Yet after a loss, determining who is responsible for repair or replacement can become confusing.
We assist both landlords and tenants by:
- Reviewing lease and policy language to determine coverage responsibilities
- Coordinating with tenant insurers to prevent overlap or missed coverage
- Estimating and documenting all affected TI work
- Supporting claims for lost rent, relocation costs, and business interruption
Because every lease and policy differs, expert claim coordination prevents disputes and ensures fair, timely recovery for all parties involved.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle multiple insurance policies within one office park?
Start by identifying which policies cover each building, tenant, and common area. A public adjuster coordinates these policies to prevent duplication and ensure every aspect of the loss is addressed properly.
Can hidden damage to curtain walls or roofs be claimed later?
Yes, if discovered within the allowable claim timeframe. We document and present supplemental claims supported by technical evidence to ensure proper coverage.
What if my tenants’ improvements are more expensive than their coverage limits?
We can review both tenant and landlord policies to identify any overlapping or excess coverage that may help offset those costs.
