    Our recommendations

    Rank Company Reasoning
    #1 Cincinnati One of the strongest homeowners insurance policies available. Very few coverage exclusions. Not always the cheapest but you get what you pay for.
    #2 Travelers Exceptional claims process. Long standing A-rated company who has always done right by our clients.
    #3 Safeco Liberty Mutual is their parent company. Over 100 years in business and dedicated to delivering their policies through the independent insurance agency channel.
    #4 Openly A newcomer to homeowners insurance. What they lack in experience they make up for in a robust policy. Very few coverage exclusions and a $5 million guaranteed replacement cost. They don't offer auto insurance yet so you'll have to forfeit a bundling discount.
    #5 Nationwide Peyton Manning is in their commercials so they must be winners right? In all seriousness, Nationwide is a great company with strong financial backing. Claims are handled well and the policy is strong. The reason they're further down on our list is they shut off taking new clients for a period in 2023 and have struggled getting their rates competitive again.

    How did we determine the rankings?

    Our rankings are based on our real world experience working with insurance companies in Webster Groves over the last 15 years. We consider our personal experience placing clients with different carriers. We feel this real life experience is more valuable than some anonymous survey!

    Our rating criteria includes rate stabilization, financial stability, customer service and ease of doing business among other factors. As an independent insurance agency, we can choose from over 2 dozen homeowners insurance companies for our clients.

    Does Webster Groves, MO homeowners insurance cover flood damage?

    Flood damage is not covered by homeowners insurance policies regardless of where you are located. To get coverage, you can purchase flood insurance through a private flood insurance company or the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).

    The NFIP is limited to $250,000 for structural coverage and $100,000 for personal property so it may not be an option for everyone.

    Our agency can help you get quotes from both to determine the best fit.

    Should I purchase earthquake coverage in Webster Groves?

    Earthquake insurance is definitely worth considering as the New Madrid Seismic Zone in southern Missouri is only about 165 miles from Webster Groves. Of course everyone's risk tolerance is different so this is a decision you'll have to make.

    Not all insurance companies offer earthquake coverage. For those who do, it's simply a coverage endorsement that can be added on to your homeowners policy. For those companies who do not offer the coverage, you can purchase a stand alone policy from a different company.

    Webster Groves, MO homeowners insurance deductibles

    Webster Groves homeowners face a high risk of hail damage. Anyone who has lived here for at least a few years has experienced this. Many insurance companies in the area now require you to have a separate deductible for wind and hail damage. These deductibles are usually higher than your deductible for all other causes of loss so it's important to know how they work.

    You may have a dollar amount deductible or a percent deductible. A dollar amount deductible could be something like $1,500. The percentage deductible is calculated as a percent of the dwelling coverage amount. For example, if you have a $300,000 home and your deductible is 1% of the dwelling covered amount, your deductible is actually $3,000.

    Percent deductible

    Dwelling Coverage Percent Deductible Deductible
    $300,000 1% $3,000
    $300,000 2% $6,000
    $300,000 3% $9,000

    Webster Groves, and the state of Missouri as a whole, has had the luxury of fixed dollar amount deductible options for wind and hail damage for a long time. However, the insurance landscape is changing and companies are increasingly phasing out fixed dollar amount deductibles in favor of percent deductibles.

    Many other states such as Oklahoma and Texas have been doing this for the last ten years so it's nothing new. So, while it may be new to Missouri, it isn't new to homeowners in other states.
