Common questions

Does my homeowners policy cover flood damage?

No. Standard homeowners and condo policies exclude flood. Flood damage is covered only by a separate flood policy, through the NFIP or a private flood carrier.

What is a hurricane deductible?

Florida home policies usually have a separate hurricane deductible, often a percentage of your dwelling coverage rather than a flat dollar amount. Check your declarations page, or call us and we'll explain yours.

How long do I have to report a claim?

Report as soon as you can. Florida law sets deadlines for property claims after a loss, and waiting can complicate the process. When in doubt, call us.

Should I hire a public adjuster?

Talk to us first. We can help you understand your coverage and the carrier's process before you sign anything.
