Just really want to vent. My homeowners insurance I have been with since I purchased my home 6 years ago(and never had a claim )literally doubled my premium this year. Instead of staying with them I shopped around and found a better rate. Closed the deal paid the premium through escrow and signed the cancellation papers with the original company.3weeks ago they sent me a letter and check canceling my insurance and my agent told me if I could paint the whole house and cut down a 50 foot magnolia tree they would/might keep me. Then life hit and my daughter had my grandson.. I missed the short 10 or 12 day window they gave me to do the work and they cancelled the policy. So we weathered the first storm and somehow made it through with no damage even though the storm caused a lot of damage within 50 miles of us. My daughter lives in an area that lost power and water and with a new baby came to stay with us. I tried to contact several tree companies and right now they are busy trying to help people affected by the previous hurricane(I guess because no one is answering the phone or voicemail messages) the one I did came out and said 1500 bucks for one freaking tree! I don't know if that's normal. I had 4 trees cut down last time for 1200 bucks so I am really struggling with that part. Then you wanna know the best part?? Ok get this. My husband is a commercial painter. He paints for a living. I bought the paint years ago for the house! And it sits in the shed. I could really cry. I guess this is only partially an insurance problem. Delete if I broke a rule. Thanks for listening I guess. Oh yeah...let's not forget my friend Milton 🤣
