What makes Florida home insurance different
The Florida home insurance market has been in upheaval. Many national carriers have pulled back or stopped writing new business; several Florida-only insurers have gone insolvent. The result: fewer choices and higher premiums than almost any other state.
Most Florida homeowners need wind/hurricane coverage (sometimes with a separate hurricane deductible expressed as a percentage of dwelling coverage), and standard policies do NOT cover flood damage. Many Floridians need a separate flood policy on top of their HO-3.
If you've been non-renewed, your home is older than 25 years, has a tile roof at end-of-life, or sits in a flood-prone area, we work with the specialty carriers that still write these risks — often including Citizens Property Insurance, Florida's state-backed insurer of last resort.
