Insurance rates in Houston can be higher due to: Severe weather risks (hurricanes, hail, flooding) High vehicle accident frequency Large metro-area traffic density Increasing property rebuild costs These factors increase overall risk levels, which impact premiums.

No. Standard homeowners policies do not cover flood damage. Houston is a high-risk region due to coastal storms and heavy rainfall, so many homeowners purchase separate flood insurance through FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or private carriers.

You should insure your home based on replacement cost, not market value. This includes: The cost to rebuild the structure Coverage for personal belongings Liability protection Additional living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable Because rebuild costs in Houston fluctuate, we help calculate accurate coverage levels.

Once you report a claim, the process typically includes: Assignment to an adjuster Inspection (in person or virtual) Damage assessment Approval and payout Simple auto claims may resolve within days. Home or weather-related claims may take longer during major storm seasons.

Most Texas homeowners policies cover wind and hail damage. However, in many coastal or high-risk areas, hurricane-related wind damage may require a separate windstorm policy, often through TWIA. Flooding from storm surge is never included and requires a separate flood policy.

Windstorm insurance covers damage caused by: Straight-line winds Thunderstorms Hail Hurricanes Tropical storms In many coastal Texas counties, wind and hail are excluded from standard homeowners policies. Homeowners must purchase separate wind coverage through: Texas Windstorm Insurance Association (TWIA), or A private windstorm carrier There is technically no separate policy called “hurricane insurance.” When people say “hurricane insurance,” they usually mean: Windstorm coverage (for wind damage) Flood insurance (for storm surge or rising water) Flood damage is not covered under homeowners or windstorm policies and requires a separate flood policy through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private flood carrier.

Yes. Flooding is the most common and costly part of hurricane damage. Standard homeowners and windstorm policies do not cover flood damage. Houston’s history of storms (Harvey, Ike, Imelda) makes flood coverage highly recommended — even outside FEMA high-risk zones.

No. Storm surge is classified as flood damage. Only: NFIP flood insurance Private flood insurance will cover storm surge damage.

Yes. NFIP flood insurance has a 30-day waiting period before coverage begins, unless the policy is purchased in connection with a new home purchase and required by a lender. Private flood insurance may have shorter waiting periods (varies by provider). Changes to homeowners or windstorm policies often cannot be made once a storm is named.

Many Texas policies have a separate windstorm or named-storm deductible, usually: 1%–5% of the home’s insured value This is different from your standard deductible for other claims.

Typically, no. Once a storm is: Named, or In the Gulf, insurance carriers often place a binding suspension, preventing new policies or coverage changes until the storm passes.

We recommend: Reviewing your insurance coverage Checking windstorm and flood deductibles Documenting your home inventory Securing outdoor items, roofs, and shutters Storing policy documents in a safe digital location We can also walk you through a preparedness review.

After a major storm: Ensure your home is safe to enter. Document everything with photos and videos. Report your claim early (high claim volume can delay adjusters). Keep receipts for temporary repairs. We help you communicate with adjusters during inspection and approval.

Possibly. Widespread storm losses can lead to regional rate increases — even for customers who did not file a claim. Individual rate changes depend on insurer guidelines and your claims history.
