Florida’s population has been booming for over half a century. As a result, in the early 1970’s, homes or commercial properties were being built en mass and, as such, cheap materials we being used.

"First-party" insurance claims are insurance claims that a policy holder makes directly with their own insurance company, essentially for breach of contract.

The death of a loved one can be a complex, confusing, and emotionally difficult time for the people left behind; tough for the survivors.

Sun. Sand. Water. Loving the Florida’s lifestyle is easy. Dealing with Hurricanes, however, can be hard. As Floridians, we are exposed to devastating hurricanes and tropical storms that many times come without much notice.

When they fail to honor their obligations, insureds are often left with un un-repaired damage to their home or business.

Tampa Bay is known as the lightning capital of the world, so much so the area named one of its professional sports franchises after this weather phenomenon. So, living in Florida, it should be no surprise that you are exposed to potential lightning strikes to your home or business.

Sinkholes occur when groundwater beneath the surface erodes limestone and creating weakness in the layers beneath the surface, allowing holes to open causing damages to surface buildings. Truthfully, however, it is not always an open hole that creates damage to home and buildings. Instead, most sinkhole damage occurs gradually, as the land slowly weakens and sinks, causing cracks and breaks to a residence or commercial building.

Stucco has been around for decades. Still, many times stucco installers will install stucco incorrectly, causing your building damage. Did the installers use a water-proofing layer and install it over lathe? Or did they take short cuts, simply and improperly installing, causing it to crack, people and lead to deeper damage to your home or business.

Nothing can be more damaging to your home that water, resulting in huge financial and emotional loss and stress.

Broken pipes and bad plumbing are also common causes of water damage.
