Premiums increased every year with renewal, with or without claims. Never spoke to a person expect when attempting a claim after Hurricane Florence in 2018, which was to basically say “sorry damages aren’t worth more than your deductible.” (BTW, in what world do the repairs/replacement of all these amount to less than $2500 - total gutters replacement, partial roof shingle replacement, multiple window screens/shutters replacement, personal property to include clothing for 4 people, welding business equipment, and two damaged sheds (“other structures”), one flipped on it’s roof and the other in pieces under a fallen tree.)
I signed for the mortgagee to be billed once for the next year’s renewal when I purchased the home - they renewed my policy the next 3 years without more than one email containing the offer to me, and sadly I trusted them too much. The fourth year, they took over $1000 from my escrow account THREE DAYS after emailing an offer of renewal and SIX WEEKS before my policy expired! There was no contact with me to confirm my wishes, and I had not even seen the email yet! As a disabled veteran on a fixed income, this company should be ashamed! I switched to USAA for more coverage at an annual premium of $207 with my membership discount. I hope this company fails.
