Questions we get asked

Can I get homeowners insurance after a water damage claim?

Yes, in many cases. Especially if repairs are completed and there haven't been multiple recent claims. Independent agencies work with specialty carriers that consider homes with prior water damage claims.

How long does a water or theft claim affect insurance?

Usually 3-5 years, depending on the carrier and claim severity. The impact decreases as claims age out of your history.

Will my premium be higher after a claim?

Often yes, at least initially. Premiums may improve as claims age out of your history and you establish a clean record with your new carrier.

Can I be insured if my previous policy was canceled?

Sometimes. Cancellation matters, but it's not always a deal-breaker. It depends on the reason for cancellation and your current home condition.

Do you insure homes other agents said no to?

Yes, we regularly help Oklahoma homeowners who were declined elsewhere. Approval depends on specific details like claim type, repairs completed, and time since the loss.
