Meet Tim Barthelemy

CEO and Founder

Tim has been involved in the construction and restoration business for over 48 years. Born and raised in Minnesota, he began his career as a general contractor for 12 years in the state. He also worked in South Carolina as a general contractor for three years and in Florida for two years.  After learning the industry, he began working for multiple insurance companies as an insurance adjuster in numerous states. He has lived in California, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas during the hurricane seasons. After 14 years working for the insurance company, he decided it was the property and homeowners (The Insureds) that he wanted to help get a proper settlement with their insurance providers and correct how poorly and unfairly the Insureds were being treated. His integrity had taken over, and he wanted to make sure the people were being taken care of fairly. He began working as a structural damage assessor during the North Ridge, California Earthquake for Pilot and State Farm. He then started working as a public adjuster for both residential and commercial losses. Fifteen years ago, in 2011, he started Independent Public Adjusters, LLC, and has continued to grow ever since. When you love your job, your job doesn't seem like work. Tim loves what he does and plans to continue to grow his business for many years to come.
