In most cases, yes. The company may send an inspector to your home about 2 to 6 weeks after the policy is purchased. The inspector typically measures and photographs the exterior of the home and will not attempt to enter gated or locked areas.

A 4-point inspection reviews the four main systems of a home: roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC. It may be required to determine whether the home is eligible for coverage. Your agent can help you find an inspector in your area.

A wind mitigation inspection checks for construction features that may help reduce wind damage to your home. In Florida, those features may qualify you for insurance discounts or credits. Your agent can help you decide whether a wind mitigation inspection makes sense for your home.

Self-guided inspections allow policyholders to conduct real-time assessments of their property through their mobile phone, tablet, or PC. These digital inspection tools are provided as a convenient and secure option to replace the physical exterior inspections we currently conduct. Please note that we require property inspections as a condition of your insurance policy with us. You will be contacted via text or email if your home is selected for a self-guided inspection. This assessment will take approximately 30 minutes, and you will typically have 15 days for a new policy and 30 days for a renewal policy to complete it. We currently partner with Chrp for self-guided inspections. If you are unable to complete the self-assessment in the provided timeframe, it may be automatically converted to an in-person inspection.

A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance coverage applies to a covered loss. In Florida, many homeowners policies include two deductibles: a hurricane deductible and an all other perils (AOP) deductible. Some policies may also include other separate deductibles, such as one for sinkhole damage.

No. Flood damage is not included in a standard homeowners policy. Flood insurance must be purchased separately. Flood coverage is available through American Traditions, and your agent can provide various options.

Actual cash value (ACV) is the cost to replace property minus depreciation for age or wear. Replacement cost is the cost to repair or replace the item at today’s prices, up to the policy terms, without subtracting depreciation in the same way.

Ordinance or law coverage helps pay to rebuild or repair a home so it complies with current building codes after a covered loss. The standard option listed is 10% of Coverage A, with higher limits of 25% and 50% also available. Your agent can help determine the right option for your home.

Wind excluded policies may be available depending on eligibility. Contact your agent to review your options. If you are currently insured with us and have wind coverage, a new policy excluding wind will be required.

Possibly. If you make improvements or additions to your home, contact your agent to review your coverage. Updates to the home may mean you need more coverage, and some improvements could also qualify for discounts or credits.

This optional endorsement may provide policyholders with a discount of 9.5% up to 15% on their insurance premium depending on the age and material of your roof system. Older roofs can sometimes be uninsurable in the traditional market and this endorsement permits carriers to offer reduced coverage based on the age and material of your roof system. The endorsement only applies to roof losses from windstorm or hail (including hurricane).

The associated deductible (AOP or HUR) would apply to any covered loss.
