We at JM’s Best Insurance know that the state of Florida is in prime position to take a beating from both Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico storms, Florida homeowners have spent billions of dollars to recover from major named hurricanes, such as Andrew. Unfortunately, the sizable dollar amounts that often accompany these storms have led many home insurance companies to flee the market. Those carriers that are left, often insure homes for everything except wind damage. This has led the State of Florida to designated an entity called Citizens Property Insurance Corporation to be the insurer of last resort and first provider of wind insurance coverage.

Eligibility

Homeowners unable to procure wind insurance coverage from a private carrier may be eligible to buy wind insurance policy from Citizens. In order to qualified the property need to be within the boundaries of a designated wind only territory and meet all applicable underwriting guidelines.

Windstorm Premiums

When shopping for wind insurance coverage, you may find that premium rates vary considerably depending on your location, the cost of the house and more. Homeowners interested in reducing their rates may wish to add improvements to their house.
These improvements can help bring down premiums and potentially open up windstorm coverage from insurance companies who would otherwise advise you to visit Citizens. Significant improvements may include the addition of gable bracing, strengthened and reinforced garage doors, better roof shingles, improved roof fastening and storm shutters.
