The NY Times explains similar insurance woes in the coastal Northeast, as to those here in FL. Either you pay the increases or just get dropped completely. From the article at the Link, "Mr. Mills, the insurance superintendent, recommends a couple of relatively inexpensive improvements that homeowners can make to try to reduce their insurance costs. Roof clips, which securely connect a house’s rafters to its roof, cost about $30 each, and hurricane shutters run about $10 to $50 per square foot."Fortunately, we can build from the start above standard codes which should help. However, I will still have to take the house plans to insurance companies to make sure we won't have problems once it's built.
