✅ If possible, wait for your insurance adjuster to inspect the damage before starting permanent repairs.
✅ Flood damage is usually not covered under a standard homeowners policy and may require a separate flood insurance claim.
✅ If visiting a Claims Village, bring your policy information, photos/videos of the damage, and receipts for emergency repairs.

Before you hire a public adjuster, take a breath and file your claim!

When disaster strikes, everyone has advice. Your neighbor, your cousin, and your third cousin twice removed may all have an opinion about what you should do. But here's some advice worth following:
File your insurance claim first and give the process a chance to work.

Go to www.gcains.com to find your insurance company website and phone number to file a claim by phone or online.

When disaster strikes, everyone has advice. Your neighbor, your cousin, and your third cousin twice removed may all have an opinion about what you should do. But here's some advice worth following: File your insurance claim first and give the process a chance to work.

Go to www.gcains.com to find your insurance company website and phone number to file a claim by phone or online.

Let your insurance company inspect the damage, evaluate your claim, and explain what is covered under your policy. If problems arise, you believe something has been overlooked, or you disagree with the outcome, you can explore hiring a public adjuster or as a last choice a lawyer. Don't make a decision based on someone else's experience before you've even given your own claim a chance. Every loss is different, every policy is different, and every claim deserves to be evaluated on its own merits.

Start with the process. Get the facts. Then decide if you need additional help.
An informed consumer is an empowered consumer!

Call our office 850-497-6810, we are happy to help you with the claim process. We have been available all weekend to help you now.

We’re hometown, homegrown, and always Anchored in Trust.

🌊 Wind damage and flood damage are NOT the same thing. 💨

This is one of the biggest insurance misunderstandings we see along the Gulf Coast.

🏠 Wind Damage:
Rain enters your home because wind damaged the roof, windows, or structure.

🌧️ Flood Damage:
Rising water comes from outside the home — like storm surge, heavy rain accumulation, or water entering from the ground level.

These situations may be handled very differently by insurance, which is why it’s so important to understand your coverage before a storm is on the way.

✅ Not sure what your policy covers?
Let’s review it together.

📖 We also created a Hurricane & Tropical Storm Preparedness Guide to help Gulf Coast homeowners better understand storm prep, insurance, flooding, deductibles, and more:

Survey says… we probably shouldn’t quit our day jobs.

Such a great time bringing a little Family Feud competition to the mix! Lots of laughs, questionable answers, and just the right amount of friendly competition

Thank you to everyone who came out, played along, and made the event such a good time. We may not be ready for national television just yet… but I’d say we nailed it.
