Insurance providers

Hi – I’ve been using Pure for some years now for insuring our brownstone. They’ve always been expensive but have just gotten a lot worse so I’m looking for options and I’d love to hear what people are paying. Of course, it’s hard to compare policies but Pure is a pretty full-featured policy. They are setting rebuild costs at ~3.5M, will cover historical methods of rebuilding, and doesn’t actually limit rebuild costs. That said they are looking for 17K for the year on our 3700sq.ft brownstone. Is anyone else willing to share who they are using and what they’re paying?

thank you all

I suppose you’ve been getting somewhat better coverage, but there ARE limits

Bob – I knew Brownstoner was cheaper but that’s ridiculous. I’ve been getting gouged it seems.

That looks like 17k a year. They are paying for what looks like detailed replacement with historical accuracy.

That’s a total of $5,000 for three years, or $5,000 a year for three years?

I paid a little under $5,000 for three years with Brownstone agency, but have been told to expect an increase when I renew for the next three years late next month.
