Marshall Services LLC, a Wylie-based, IAUA-certified property insurance appraisal and umpire firm in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, today announced free written guides on the property insurance appraisal process and a new Facebook page for Texas property owners.

The guides are a growing library at marshallservicesusa.com/blog. The new business page is on Facebook.

The guides explain the appraisal clause found in many property insurance policies. Topics include how to invoke the clause, how an umpire is chosen, what a Xactimate estimate contains, the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost value, and how to document hail, wind, and water damage. Each guide states that appraisal decides the amount of a loss, not whether the loss is covered. Each article shows the date it was published and last updated.

"My job as an appraiser is to determine the amount of loss, not to sell the repair, and I do the work myself, from the inspection to the estimate to signing the award. These guides explain how that works so people know what to expect, and what to ask, before they appoint anyone," said Marshall Smith, CPAU, owner of Marshall Services LLC.

Marshall Services LLC provides appraisal and umpire services for property damage disputes, including hail, wind, fire, water, hurricane, and flood losses on residential and commercial properties. The firm also offers Xactimate estimating, damage documentation, consultation, and FAA Part 107 drone roof inspections. Marshall Smith holds the Certified Property Appraiser and Umpire (CPAU) designation from the Insurance Appraisers and Umpires Association (IAUA).

The firm acts either as an appointed appraiser for one party or as a neutral umpire, but never both on the same claim.

The guides are at marshallservicesusa.com/blog, and the business is on Google at g.page/r/CRuduN5HTOfkEAE.

This announcement was issued by EIN Presswire on November 3, 2026.
