I researched Cornerstone / Tower Hill after my neighbor said good things about them, as Citizens was kicking me off and putting me with a company I had not heard of, and didn't even have a customer portal. I contacted Tower Hill and James Bonn got back to me immediately, which gave me a good feeling. We did some back and forth via email over the next 24 hours or so, and worked out a homeowners policy that I feel good about. I was hit pretty hard during Ian, so this is important to me. Bottom line is I feel like I found a good company for a fair price, and hopefully will have a good relationship should things go south in SWFL!

While shopping around for a new Homeowners Insurance policy, I spoke with James Bonn at Cornerstone Insurance. He not only was able to get me a lower rate but also with the same coverage I had at a much higher rate! He was extremely knowledgeable and attentive to detail and went that extra mile to listen to and answer my many questions. I highly recommend James Bonn at Cornerstone Insurance for all your insurance needs! Thank you, James Bonn!!

This company is 'on it'. I made a request to remove a car from my Auto policy; procrastinated first, then asked for the premium credit to be refunded back to over 2 months prior to my request. I provided docs showing the sale of the car - and the date - and they went to bat for me and got me the full refund! It's was - and has recently been - difficult to make changes online with the carrier, but my agency stepped up and took care of it. This is the kind of service I used to get 'back in the day' when I had commercial coverage of a fleet of 12 vehicles. I only have 2 cars now but getting the attention of a much bigger Customer.

Service has declined everywhere, but not at my Ins Agency.

My little family and I are very grateful For his knowledge and expertise

Finding good, reliable homeowners insurance in the state of Florida is not an easy task for a homeowner these days, especially if you have an older home.
Having been with the same company for over 25 years I felt overwhelmed at the thought of trying to find the right fit for us again.
Eric Bushey at Cornerstone Insurance made such an impression on myself and my husband, he was truly a pleasure to deal with.
He answered all of our questions (for many days) made suggestions, helpful ideas, and was so kind & patient with us.

Thank you Eric and Cornerstone Insurance!

Homeowners Insurance Options in Florida

In recent years, many carriers have non-renewed or are no longer issuing new policies in the state. As a result, the homeowners insurance Tampa residents have to choose from has become more limited.

At Cornerstone Insurance, we have investigated and vetted the insurance companies still writing and selected to represent only the top rated and most experienced carriers of the group. This gives our clients the assurance of knowing that their home and property is protected by an insurance company that is financially stable and ready and capable of paying claims if a disaster occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Homeowners Insurance

When shopping for home owners insurance, Tampa residents often make the mistake of using the purchase price of the home as the basis for the amount of coverage they request. Often times, the purchase price of the home is not the same as its replacement cost. This is especially true if the house was purchased several years ago. As building codes change and inflation pushes up the price of materials and labor, replacement costs tend to become higher than purchase price or even market value. Make sure you are dealing with an agent that understands these differences, and will write you a policy with adequate coverage to replace your dwelling in the event of a total loss.

Also Consider Extended Replacement Cost in Case of Disaster: If a major disaster strikes your area, it is wise to carry extended replacement cost on your homeowner policy to account for a possible spike in material costs to rebuild the home.

The standard home insurance Tampa residents buy does not include flood insurance. So if your dwelling is ever damaged by a flood, you would be responsible to pay the costs directly out of pocket. To make sure you are fully covered, it is wise to purchase additional flood insurance for your home.

Make sure you have high enough individual liability limits in case someone is injured on your property and submits a claim against you. In general, you should have at least enough to match your financial net worth. If net worth exceeds the maximum liability coverage of the homeowners insurance, Tampa residents should consider an umbrella policy to give them the additional liability coverage they need.

Most home insurance policies in Tampa, FL have a 2% hurricane deductible. This means that if your home is insured for $100,000, you would be responsible to pay the first $2,000 out of pocket due to hurricane damage. The higher the deductible, the lower your annual premium, but make sure you can afford to pay that deductible if a hurricane ever does damage to your house.
