Our Story
After years in the construction industry, Gavnat President and CEO, Jim Pierce, started working as an adjuster on behalf of the insurance companies, collaborating alongside roofing contractors. Eventually Jim transitioned to the role of an adjuster working to protect property owners and found his passion. When Minnesota law changed and the role of adjusters representing individuals became a licensed position by statute, he was first in line. Utilizing his years of construction and insurance experience, Jim set off to define an entirely new industry of Licensed Public Adjusters working to advocate for the rights of policyholders. What began as a passion project for Jim, has now grown into a thriving business of driven and successful employees now known as Gavnat Public Insurance Adjusters.
At Gavnat, every employee understands how difficult dealing with a disaster can be and dedicates their time to alleviating the stress of dealing with insurance companies after the face. We put our knowledge and experience to work to ensure that every client gets what they need to put their home or business back together after a storm, fire, pipe leak, or anything in-between.

Deb, in particular, was exceptional. She took the time to explain complex insurance terminology clearly and ensured we were fully informed at every step. What could have been a stressful, drawn-out process became seamless and efficient, with minimal disruption to our lives. GavNat truly advocates for their clients and makes sure they receive the coverage they deserve.
If you’re considering home repairs or upgrades and aren't sure if some of them are covered by your home insurance, I highly recommend calling GavNat to do an assessment. Their professionalism, transparency, and results make them worth every penny.
Zach Boyer, our public adjuster, was outstanding from start to finish. His attention to detail, communication, and knowledge of both construction and policy language made all the difference. He identified damage the carrier initially overlooked, handled every step of the claims process, and ultimately secured approval for a full roof replacement before my policy changed. That alone saved me from a major out-of-pocket expense.
Gavnat & Associates exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend Zach and the entire team to anyone needing help navigating a property insurance claim. Their professionalism and results speak for themselves.
