About Mark Grossman
Founder of ClaimHelpMe

Mark Grossman spent over 35 years working across every level of the construction and insurance claim industry — from hands-on trades to senior estimating and claim analysis.

Throughout my entire journey in the construction industry, starting from the early days, I took on every aspect of the job myself. From plumbing and electrical work to framing, windows, doors, siding, tile casing, baseboards, molding, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, drywalling, finishing – you name it. Even tasks like painting, the trade that many carpenters tend to dislike, I tackled head-on. It's only when you invest time into actually performing these tasks that you come to truly appreciate the skills required.

I've framed, wired, & plumb roughed entire homes, making countless mistakes along the way. Yet, each mistake was a lesson learned, leading to multiple attempts until I reached a point of perfection. Fast forward to now, and I find myself dealing with aches and pains in my shoulders, knees, ankles, hands, battling tendonitis, carpal tunnel, and arthritis – the physical toll of my years of hands-on work. However, the wealth of knowledge I've gained allows me to confidently estimate the time and cost involved in any project.

Being a seasoned estimator is not just about crunching numbers; it's about understanding every nuance of the trade. I've transitioned from a hands-on role to being a foreman, overseeing thousands of projects. In this journey, I made mistakes, honed my skills, and climbed the ranks to become the most senior person on any job site. The same evolution occurred in my estimation skills. I've mastered every aspect of the industry, particularly within the insurance field.

When I read through documents or someone else's estimate, I can discern immediately whether it's crafted by a seasoned estimator or someone with a surface-level understanding of the industry. The ability to spot well-written estimates from those that lack crucial information is a testament to the depth of knowledge I've acquired over the years – knowledge that proves invaluable in ensuring successful repairs and projects.

Mark Grossman has worked on thousands of insurance claims involving water damage, fire losses, reconstruction estimates, and policy disputes.
