For many homeowners in New Orleans after the recent hurricane Zeta they discovered damage to their roof and they called their agent to make a claim
To their surprise they were explained what is a 5% Hurricane deductible
It is 5% of the insured value or the amount the home is insured for
example) 300,000 house with a 5% Hurricane deductible is a $15,000 deduction on the claim check
For most New Orleans homeowners a roof replacement is less than $15,000 so basically you are insuring your roof out of your own pocket
The problem recently is not all homeowners were aware they had a 5% hurricane deductible on their homeowners insurance policy
Some insurance companies just changed the Hurricane deductible from 2% to 5% on the renewal policy
GET A LOWER HURRICANE DEDUCTIBLE
After the recent hurricane(s) that struck the Gulf Coast, insurance companies are going to raise rates and the days of Hurricane deductibles as low as 1000 may be behind us
At this time you can still purchase a lower Hurricane deductible
Most large insurance companies that spend their time and money on commercials offer a 5% Hurricane deductible on New Orleans homeowners insurance policies
If you have been with one of these companies for a long time you most probably have a large Hurricane deductible
