We're Insurance by Floridians, for Floridians.
Insurance premiums keep going up. However, you can still find affordable coverage to protect your home against any disaster. Our local agents offer customized policies tailored to your home and your budget. Protect your home against fires, hurricanes, lawsuits, theft, and much more.
Many different things can happen in your home. Below are some of the most common categories of coverage for homeowners.
If the structure of your home is damaged or destroyed, home insurance covers your investment.
You might be surprised by how much it costs to replace your belongings: furniture, appliances, clothing, and valuables.
If someone is injured on your property, you are liable for any medical and legal costs that may arise. Liability coverage protects you from these unexpected liabilities and helps injured people receive the care they need.
If your home is damaged, you may have to move out while repairs are being made. A rushed move can be costly and stressful for the whole family. Loss-of-use coverage helps offset the financial burden of living away from home while a claim is being processed.
Pipe malfunctions and breaks are a common cause of household disasters. Water damage coverage protects your home from the enormous unexpected expenses resulting from such damage. Flood insurance is handled differently due to the risk of hurricanes and heavy rains. Ask your AlbertoInsurance agent about the requirements and recommendations regarding flood insurance.
The season most feared by homeowners—hurricane season—lasts for half a year. Hurricane and storm coverage gives you peace of mind when summer arrives.
A very useful add-on for homes subject to a homeowners' association. Civil liability insurance for damage to common property protects you against claims related to common areas, covering unexpected expenses.
Hurricane coverage is not a separate insurance policy. But not all homeowners insurance policies cover it. In hurricane heavy Florida, hurricane insurance is a crucial part of protecting your home. Talk to your AlbertoInsurance agent about hurricane coverage to feel peace of mind when storm season rolls in.
Wind is generally covered under homeowners insurance policies. But you must check with your agents if your home is protected during hurricanes and named storms.
Homeowners insurance generally does not cover flood insurance caused by hurricanes. Ask your agents about Florida's flood insurance requirements and recommendations to keep your home protected.
Not included in many homeowners insurance policies, water backup provides protection against damage caused by water backing up into the home through sewers, drains, and/or sump pumps.
If your homeowners insurance includes coverage for hurricane or named-storm damage, a separate deductible may apply. This deductible is often higher than the one that applies to all other perils, so it’s important to understand how it works ahead of time. In many cases, the hurricane deductible is calculated as a percentage of your dwelling coverage limit. Be sure to speak with an agent to find a cost-effective policy that offers the right protection for your home during storm season.
Your premium will reflect the risk your house carries of suffering a disaster. The following factors can affect the rates you are offered:
An older house may have deteriorating plumbing and structural issues. This can increase the price of your homeowners insurance.
The cost to insure your home varies depending on the materials it is made from. A larger or more expensive structure will cost more to rebuild.
Older wiring and plumbing pose a greater risk for fire or water damage.
If your neighborhood has a high crime rate or is prone to natural disasters, you can expect to pay higher rates
Poor fire safety increases the risk of disaster. But living near to a hydrant or fire house can actually decrease your premiums.
Running a business, having tenants or roommates, or using the home seasonally can lead to higher premiums due to increased risk of theft, liability, or damage claims.
Smoking or owning a dog can increase your insurance rates as your risk level increases. Your marital status can also affect your premium. Married couples enjoy the lowest rates.
The higher the deductible you choose for your policy, the lower your premium will be. Ask your AlbertoInsurance agent about balancing premium affordability with your ability to pay a highder deductible.
If you have a history of making claims, your rates will be higher. Insurers view homeowners with previous claims as higher risk.
A higher credit score can help reduce your homeowners insurance rates in Florida. Some risk factors are out of your control, but improving your credit score is an easy way to save money on premiums.
Your insurance policy should cover 100% of the cost to rebuild your home. Not carrying enough insurance can leave you at risk of financial ruin.
Speak to your insurance agent to determine the type of coverage your home needs. They can determine the correct coverage for:

A standard Florida homeowners policy covers four areas: the dwelling, other structures, personal property, and liability — plus loss of use if your home becomes uninhabitable. Flood damage is excluded and requires a separate flood policy. In coastal Florida, expect a separate windstorm or hurricane deductible.
Florida law does not require homeowners insurance, but mortgage lenders do — every lender mandates coverage at least equal to the loan balance. Even owners without a mortgage should carry it, because hurricane, fire, and theft losses in Florida are not recoverable without a policy.
Florida homeowners insurance rates in Florida are based on six factors: location, construction type, roof age, prior claims history, coverage limits, and deductibles. In coastal Florida, wind mitigation features such as hurricane shutters, impact windows, and roof tie-downs can reduce premiums by 10–45%.
No — flood damage is never covered by a standard homeowners policy. You need a separate flood policy through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private flood carrier to cover rising water, storm surge, and inland flooding.
The five most effective ways to lower a Florida homeowners premium in Florida are: bundle home and auto, complete a wind mitigation inspection, raise your deductible, maintain a strong credit score, and compare quotes from multiple carriers. Ask your local Florida agent about roof age credits and monitored security system discounts that can further reduce your rate.
A wind mitigation inspection — required by Florida statute 627.0629 to be honored by carriers — documents how your roof, openings, and bracing resist hurricane-force winds. Florida homeowners typically save 30–60% on the wind portion of their premium when the inspection shows hip roof shape, secondary water resistance, and impact-rated openings. The certificate is valid for five years, and your local AlbertoInsurance® agent will submit it to your carrier for the credit.
Most Florida carriers will not write a new homeowners policy if the roof is older than 15 years, and many require a 4-point or roof-condition inspection at 10 years. Under Florida’s 2022 SB 4-D reforms, insurers must offer renewal if a roof has at least five years of useful life remaining, even past the 15-year mark. Florida homeowners with older roofs should ask their AlbertoInsurance® agent to compare carriers — underwriting cutoffs vary widely between Citizens, Florida Peninsula, Tower Hill, and the surplus-lines markets.
