Do you know your current flood zone (post-2024 FEMA maps)?
Is your roof age documented with your insurer?
Could you state your named-storm deductible in dollars?
Do you have flood coverage (separate from homeowners)?
Is there a photo/video inventory of your contents?
If you own a boat: is there a written haul-out plan?
Most coastal homeowners score under 60 the first time. That's exactly why this check exists.
Every new coastal policy starts with a porch visit — roof, elevation, dock, and all.
After Florence we handled 300+ claims with zero clients left to face an adjuster alone. That's the job.
We only place coastal risk with carriers whose storm-claim record we've seen up close.
"Florence put four feet of water in our house. Kate had a claims advocate at our door before FEMA returned our call."
"They found a private flood policy $1,900 cheaper than the NFIP quote our bank handed us. Same coverage. Better, actually."
"Our 42-footer is insured agreed-value with haul-out coverage I didn't know existed. These folks actually sail."
"Bought our first beach house at 34. Blue Harbor explained wind deductibles like humans. Closed on time, insured right."
"I've filed a flood claim on my own house. Twice. Nobody on this coast should learn that process alone."
