Texas Gulf Coast Insurance Cost Increase

[Bruce Kay]

We just received the renewal notice for a few of our properties and we are seeing significant increases for premiums for wind and fire (about 30 %)  I have properties in two Texas county's, Jefferson and Hardin (Beaumont)  We have no claims on these properties from any of the previous hurricanes as far back as Rita, and Ike along with and including last year's Harvey but our area had more than its share of claims I'm sure.  I realize when discussing insurance that you have several factors driving the cost for the different types such as fire , wind, flood, liability etc. which may or may not be combined to a single policy depending on the location and the provider.  I'm just looking for recommendations from the BP Community for insurance providers that we might reach out to for quotes in order to make sure we get best coverage and price possible.
