Common Insurance Mistakes Florida Homeowners Make

Located in Jupiter. Serving all of Palm Beach & Florida

Homeowners insurance in Florida is complex, especially in coastal communities like Jupiter and Tequesta. Many homeowners believe they are fully protected when gaps exist.

Common mistakes include insuring for market value instead of rebuild cost, assuming flood damage is covered and choosing deductibles without understanding them.

Failing to update coverage after home improvements and carrying too little liability protection are also frequent issues.

Annual policy reviews help ensure your coverage remains aligned with your needs.

Jupiter-Tequesta Insurance helps homeowners identify and close coverage gaps.
