How we match Florida homes to insurance companies

The right carrier depends on your home, not a ranking.

Ranking lists can't tell you which Florida home insurance company is best for you, because each carrier has its own appetite. As an independent agency appointed with many of them, we sort the market by the details of your home.

What decides the match

  • Roof age and material. Some carriers want newer roofs; others will write older roofs that pass inspection.
  • Distance to the coast and wind exposure. Coastal and barrier-island homes go to carriers built for that risk.
  • Construction and mitigation. Masonry, hip roofs and impact openings widen your options.
  • Value. High-value homes often fit private-client carriers with broader coverage.
  • Claims history and occupancy. Rentals, vacant homes and recent claims narrow the field.

Who we work with

For Florida homes we place coverage with carriers including American Integrity, Heritage, Universal P&C, Security First, Florida Peninsula, Slide, Southern Oak, VYRD, Orion180, Orchid and Chubb, plus specialty and surplus markets when a home needs them. See the full carrier list.

How we compare

We line up coverage as well as price: deductibles for hurricanes and other perils, roof claim settlement, water damage limits, and loss of use. The cheapest quote often has the weakest roof or water terms.

This article is general information, not advice about your specific policy. Coverage, eligibility and discounts depend on your carrier's filed rates and policy language. Talk with a licensed agent about your situation.
