Agent James Bonn was very helpful in getting Tower Hill home insurance on time when I had a short time period before my current insurance expired. He was with me all the way through until I was connected to my new service.

I had for a 4 point inspection and wind mitigation done. They approved the policy. My house insurance goes through my mortgage holder. So Tower Hill got paid through them, and I cancelled my old insurance carrier. Then after about a month and a half, I get a cancellation notice. They sent their own inspector in and reported a couple shingles were missing and a piece of soffit square was missing and rust on a decorative post on my porch. My roof was over 10 years old, so I quickly got the roof replaced and took care of the other issues as well before the cancellation deadline. They worked with me and not only did they keep the policy from getting cancelled, my premium is now lower because of the new roof.

What You Need to know About Flood Insurance

There is a simple fact that many people in the Tampa, Florida area don’t realize when they buy their home insurance policies: without flood insurance, you are at risk of damage and loss to your home, because flood is not a covered peril in a standard home insurance policy. Maybe you’re in what is considered a “low-risk” area and are not required to carry by your mortgage company. However, even if your house is built on higher ground and in a safer area, your personal property and dwelling are still at risk.

With hurricane season lasting six months of the year (June through November), there is always risk associated with flooding from sustained heavy rainfall, watershed saturation and backup, causing thousands in damage to your house. If you still think your home is safe, consider this fact: roughly 25% of all flood insurance claim reporting occurs in “low to moderate risk” areas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flood Insurance

There are two possible outcomes for residents of Tampa with losses from flooding and no flood insurance: Tampa homeowners can hope that the federal government will declare their community a disaster area, in which case there may be financial relief; or they will have to replace their losses out of their pocket. Because of the financial and emotional strain it can cause for families, the best plan is to get covered with flood insurance.

Flood insurance is purchased through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) usually through a Write Your Own (WYO) carrier that is acting as a general agent for FEMA. Just recently some homeowners companies started offering flood insurance as endorsement to the homeowners policy, something that is brand new and has not been done in the past. In order for you to obtain coverage, you need to work through a licensed insurance agent such as  Cornerstone Insurance.

Unlike most other types of insurance products, flood insurance coverage does not take effect immediately! There is a 30 day waiting period (unless you are closing on a loan) for the coverage to go into effect. Tampa residents must keep this in mind when they purchase a flood policy. So, if there is a major hurricane, tropical storm or heavy rain in the forecast  you are probably already too late to cover your dwelling. It is important that you buy your insurance well in advance of storm season so you will be ready in the event of a disaster.

Below are the 2015 FEMA Preferred Flood Rates for X, C and B zones for primary homes (you reside there more than 50 percent of the year). Add $250 per year to a non-primary dwelling. FEMA Flood is paid once a year and is an annual policy. Currently, the premium may be paid through a checking account electronically, or via most major credit cards including American Express, VISA and Master Card.

Building / ContentsAnnual Premium
$20,000 / $8,000$162
$30,000 / $12,000$198
$50,000 / $20,000$258

I just switched my homeowner's insurance through Joshua Gleaton with Cornerstone. I had been with my previous insurer for 32 years. Josh was outstanding to work with. He was responsive, easy to work with and provided me with tremendous savings (Cut my insurance in half). I only wish I had called him years ago.

Kyle Wilson from Cornerstone Insurance was recommended to me for purposes of purchasing home insurance on my new home in Sarasota. As a current New England resident, I was not familiar with many Florida agents and am thankful I was introduced to Kyle. He made the insurance purchase process quick and easy and was extremely attentive - despite me reaching out during the week between Christmas and New Year's Day. For those of you who have resided in the Northeast and "expect" quick, reliable service as well as timely responses to your messages, I highly recommend you contact Kyle. I am also very pleased with the pricing of the insurance and the opportunity to customize the coverage I was seeking.

Kyle Wilson was extremely helpful with my home insurance request, he will reply to your questions fast, with accuracy and he works on weekends, holidays, day and night. Thanks Kyle for handling my policy!
FREDERIC H.
Joshua Gleaton at Cornerstone helped me with saving almost $2k/year on my homeowners insurance while increasing my Law & Ordinance coverage to 25% (from 10%) and replacement cost for contents rather than assessed value. I suggest everyone in FL shop their HO insurance as this was a big savings with increases in coverage that will make a huge difference if ever needed. I dragged Joshua along for months as I had several other priorities and he patiently stuck in there and got me set up with new insurance. I recommend you call him.

Mrs Tate is a really nice lady and a pleasure to talk to! Patiently answered all my questions. Great customer service!
