Home Insurance in Florida
Between hurricane season, rising premiums and carriers pulling out of the state, insuring a home in Florida has gotten complicated. Caiman Insurance is a locally owned, independent agency serving Tampa, FL and Hillsborough County, and we help homeowners cut through that complexity by comparing coverage across multiple trusted carriers. The result is a homeowners insurance policy built around your property, not a generic template.
Coverage That Matches How Tampa Homes Are Built and Lived In
A 1920s bungalow in Seminole Heights and a new build in South Tampa carry very different risks, and your policy should account for that. Our agents review your home's construction, age and location to build coverage for the dwelling, your belongings, liability protection and additional living expenses if you are ever displaced after a covered loss.
Hurricane and Storm Season Protection
Florida's biggest threat to homeowners is not fire or theft, it is wind and water. We help Tampa families understand hurricane deductibles and windstorm coverage, so there are no surprises when a storm is bearing down on Tampa Bay.
Condos, Rentals and Everything in Between
Not everyone in Tampa owns a single-family home. We also write condo insurance and landlord policies for rental property, and we can bundle your coverage with auto insurance to help lower your overall cost.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does homeowners insurance cover in Florida?
A standard policy generally covers the structure of your home, your personal belongings, liability for injuries on your property, and additional living expenses if you are temporarily displaced. Flood damage is typically excluded and requires separate coverage.
Do I need separate hurricane insurance in Tampa?
Hurricane and windstorm damage is usually covered under your homeowners policy, but it often comes with its own deductible. Our agents can walk you through exactly how your policy responds during a named storm.
Why did my home insurance premium go up this year?
Rebuilding costs, reinsurance rates and storm activity have driven premiums higher across Florida. Comparing quotes from multiple carriers, as we do for every client, is one of the best ways to keep your rate in check.
Can I still get coverage if my roof is older?
It depends on the roof's age, material and condition. Some carriers require an inspection or replacement before issuing a policy, and our agents can help identify insurers that work with your home as it stands today.
