About: Jonathan Amato

Jonathan Amato’s career in the insurance and construction industries was shaped by his father’s influence and early exposure to catastrophe response. In 1992, at just 16 years old, he was introduced to insurance inspections when his father joined State Farm in the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew, which devastated Dade County. This experience ignited his passion for helping others navigate property damage and disaster recovery.

His hands-on experience continued in 1994 when he traveled to Northridge, California, after a 6.7 magnitude earthquake struck the San Fernando Valley. In 1998, he assisted in the Florida Keys following Hurricane Georges. These formative years cemented Jonathan’s commitment to the industry, and he has been dedicated to claims handling and property damage assessments ever since.

Jonathan officially obtained his Florida All Lines Adjuster license in 2003 and has since amassed over 22 years of experience in construction, insurance claims, and dispute resolution. His extensive certifications include NFIP, IICRC, HAAG, and Xactimate Level 2, and he is an active member of WIND, IAUA, and the Society of General Adjusters. Licensed in multiple states, he has worked on every major hurricane event between 2003 and 2022, inspecting nearly 10,000 structures and preparing countless damage repair estimates. His expertise spans working with insurance companies, contractors, attorneys, public adjusters, business owners, and homeowners.

Beyond his role as an adjuster and appraiser, Jonathan is also a licensed Florida roofing contractor, adding another layer of technical expertise to his skill set. His deep knowledge of roofing systems, combined with his adjusting background, allows him to provide comprehensive and well-supported damage assessments.

Jonathan frequently assists with alternative dispute resolutions, including mediation and appraisal, ensuring that claims reach fair and equitable settlements. His vast industry knowledge, experience, and professional integrity make him a trusted resource for those navigating complex property damage claims.
