home insurance (Massapequa, Sound Beach: home owners insurance, how much, new)

[bluegiant]

how much do you pay for home owners insurance in the north babylon area? im getting quotes of $1900 to $2300. this seems expensive. any advice or suggestions would be great. thanks

That does seem high. I believe my policy is about $1,300. Which I think is high, but it's skyrocketed since Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Before that it was $650.
And this is with Smallstate

I am in Massapequa and I pay $1106 with an umbrella policy.

So...you got a NEW homeowners from Geico in Suffolk County? Because just about 6 weeks ago they told me they were not writing here. Grrr...insurance here is very frustrating!

Did you go through the regular Geico customer service? Thanks!!

The last I heard Geico was writing their homeowners insurance with Naragansett Bay Insurance Company. You can find a local independent agent that writes for them. I see you are in Sound Beach. Distance to the water is a problem with many companies.
