Common questions about flood insurance
No. Flood caused by monsoon runoff, flash flooding, or rising water from a wash or canal is excluded under the flood exclusion in your standard homeowners policy. You need separate flood insurance — either NFIP or private flood — to cover this exposure.
Switching is straightforward: get a new policy bound before your current one expires, then cancel the old policy effective the new policy start date. Your mortgage lender will need the new declarations page. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with your lender.
Typically no — standard HO-3 policies exclude business and rental activities. If you rent a room or a guest house on your property, you may need a homeowners endorsement or a separate landlord policy for that portion of the home.
Arizona home insurance averages roughly $1,200–$2,500 per year, though city and risk profile move it a lot — Phoenix and Tucson metro homes often land lower, while Flagstaff, Prescott, and wildfire-interface areas run higher. Home value, age, roof, construction, pool, dogs, and claims history all factor in. We compare 12+ carriers to find your best rate.
Most quotes take about 15 minutes once we have your home's address, year built, square footage, and a few risk details. Call 844-967-5247 or start online and we'll shop A-rated Arizona carriers and come back with real numbers — not a call-center callback a week later.
We're an independent agency, so we compare 12+ A-rated carriers that write in Arizona for every quote — including markets your current agent may not have. That's how we find the right combination of price, coverage, and financial strength for your home.
Usually yes. Bundling home and auto with the same carrier typically earns a 5–15% multi-policy discount in Arizona and simplifies billing and renewals. We quote the bundle alongside stand-alone options so you can see the real savings.
Yes — sudden, accidental roof damage from monsoon wind, hail, or fire is covered under a standard HO-3. Note that many Arizona carriers now settle older tile and shingle roofs on an actual-cash-value (depreciated) basis rather than full replacement cost, so we review your roof settlement terms before you buy.
It can, especially multiple claims within a few years or a claim on a home in a wildfire or monsoon-prone area. Small losses you can absorb are often better left unfiled to protect your claims history. We help you weigh whether filing makes sense and re-shop your coverage if a carrier non-renews you.
