The whole process was easy and smooth. Our claim was for Hurricane Ian wind damage at our condominium development. Our condo association prepared all the necessary details and justifications which we sent to Florida Peninsula. Our adjuster contacted us by phone within 24 hours of us emailing our request and the condo assessment. Within three more days the matter was assessed, reviewed and approved and we were advised. That is excellent service! Thank you Florida Peninsula!

I was very nervous about making an insurance claim, however due to the damage and cost of repair I had no choice. Everyone was EXTREMELY helpful and empathetic throughout the entire process. They were easy to contact, answered all of my questions, and even helped me understand what to look for when hiring a contractor to complete the repairs. They were amazing. Thank you so much!
