We’re not in a flood zone, it’s a 3/2 1900 SQ ft home we purchased for 97k ten years ago and it’s only worth $220,000 now. Worst company ever. This should be illegal.

  89. My adjuster is William Wentroble, I have left a couple of messages for him about a week ago and he has not returned my call. Not very happy about this. I even left an email for his supervisor today, hopefully she returns my call.

  108. So far not liking this company. Customer service is horrible, they are rude and I have to keep calling on my claim status they also are being very cryptic in the report of my claim, even the roof inspector said he’s not at liberty to discuss his findings with me. I have a feeling this is going to be a rough experience.

  139. I filed my claim with this company late May. As you can see in my sunroom the left side is sinking due to the rain and the beam also is shifting. I called the company and had an adjuster come check it out. After that day I never received …

  140. Excellent service, the must helpful Lady ever, very professional , knowledgeable and very courteous.I wish many companies would have individuals as affable and clever as the lovely Lady I spoke with. …

I had an electrical riser bent from a tree falling down on the powerlines and after a kid taking pictures for a half hour they say I have $2000 worth of damage. Nobody came out to inspect the roof. I am definitely calling the state of Florida to report them.

  143. Rates are reasonable considering the circumstances in Florida. I had a claim as a new customer, and an adjuster was out right away. I received a check within days, no follow ups and no games.

  144. One of the Sorriest Companies out! U have no issue taking our money but can’t send nobody out to work for the money you take! I’ve been trying to get someone out to my home for almost 2 months concerning a water leak under my house! Make it Make Sense, Money ain’t free and problems do come Play your part!!

  145. They are a rip off, my premium is 3642.91 per year with a 8300. Hurricane deductible. I am currently having a new roof put home and shed for 7500, so if I loss my roof next hurricane season I will still NOT meet my deductible. This us a scam company. My home us small 2 bd/2bt 1000 squre feet.

  146. Extremely worst service I ever experienced. and Desk Adjuster I was given for my house he was irresponsible and never return my call and it took almost 3 months to review my file. overall poor communications and they increase premium every year

  147. If I could give this company zero stars I wouldn’t give it even one. What a horrible and painful situation. A hurricane left my roof devastated and the check this company sent us is a joke. …

  148. My policy last year increased DOUBLE last year with no explanation, Have Secured a policy with another company,And waiting on a refund for the unused portion , My agent was unwilling to give me any answers for the increase. I had this policy for several years never a problem, Sorry to see this happen.

  149. Absolutely the best service I could only dream about. Asley was the representative wo gave me detailed information on my policy, gave me advise on filing the forms. I wish I could give her 10 stars

  150. Little to no communication from company regarding claim questions. Multiple emails sent asking for information. Company responds with template emails saying they have received my email, but there is no follow up. Additionally, web-based …

  152. Raised rates by 63% in one year for home owners insurance. Absolutely absurd. Never made a claim with them yet they are bleeding their customers dry. Will be switching companies.

  153. Last year we had a section of our roof redone including trusses and decking as well as drywall inside that section took a hard hit with Ian I received a denial of my claim today stating that the roof is to old. When we first got them as our …

  154. As an insurance agent sometimes it’s hard coming across reps who want to help you and know what they’re talking about. Tashan Allen fulfilled both. Very knowledgeable and eager to help. Hoping that I can request to speak with her each time if possible b/c of her great service, thank you Tashan.

  155. Elvis was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. He was the exact opposite of the desk adjuster I had spoken with previously who had been aggressive, condescending and even yelled at me. He had to repair the mistakes she had made as well. I was so happy to speak with him.
    Thank you Elvis

  156. Unfortunately this is one of those subpar insurance companies that should be investigated more stringently. They barely stay ahead of the regulatory requirements and really don’t care about customers. Sadly, the state department of …

  157. Universal Property is a scam! STAY FAR AWAY!!!!! Every year I have had them they have raised our premium rate by 2,000! For nothing! We have never once filed a claim or contacted them for help! Our new rate quote is $6,200! It is …

  158. The claims office, which is closed every weekend, insisted we give them a specific date of loss! How can you determine the date of loss when you are out of town!! We left our home August 31, 2022 for 20 days. We were called on September …

  159. Called and spoke to a lovely woman named Andrea. I had questions. She handled those questions with ease, patience, knowledge, kindness & clearly knows her stuff. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE EXPERIENCE!! THANK YOU ANDREA.

  160. The first call did not go well. The rep gave me instructions to find a document that did not work. I was very lucky to have Carly N on the next call. Instead of making me do the work, she sent me an email with the documents I needed. Thanks Carly!

  161. If there was a 0 star option I would choose that. We had a pipe burst and our pool cave in a week a part after only living in our home for about a year. We have still been fighting for our money. The total damage between the two was over …

  162. I wanted to share a positive review of my interaction with service Rep Sharnetta Calhoun. She was prompt, pleasant, but most of all she was efficient in helping resolve my problem. Thank you Sharnetta! Great Job! Keep up the great customer service. : )

  163. The associate that I spoke with was extremely patience, understanding and took the time to review my documents. Please give her employee of the month award!!! She was the best person to talk to on the phone. Thanks. (I’m very sorry that I didn’t write her name down.)

  164. I have never had a problem. My house burned. You just have to get hold of the right person. They were slow, but once I got hold of a supervisor, it was in my bank the next day! I got the full amt insured for, in all ways.

  165. After having this insurance for over 5 years we filed a claim for damage to our roof after multiple storms and hail damage. Our claim was denied stating normal wear, which of course is not covered in our policy. Almost every neighbor …

  166. I filed a small claim to cover minor water damage coming from the apartment upstairs and the first notice I got from Universal is that they won’t renew my policy upon expiration. This was the first and only claim filed in the 3 years that …

  167. Universal received a written request to cancel my policy on August 27th. Today is October 3rd and I don’t have a refund check for premiums paid in advance. …

  168. Same issues as everyone else. We were told our claim was approved over a month ago. Since then we keep getting the runaround. Each time we call it is the same “check is in the mail”. Our Adjuster Kendia Jenkins cannot be bothered to return our calls. Customer Service is no help.

  169. Cancelled my Homeowners Insurance as on 1/22. Did not get a refund as they continued the policy until 9/22. I had written proof, verbal proof. A horrible company would never recommend. Used WInget Insurance in Ocala FL to get this …

  170. We had a water leak/damage in December of 2021… we had an adjuster come out and found that it would be over 40K to fix. …

  171. Went with them when I got my mortgage because they were the cheapest option. Less than a month they are cancelling my policy because of the age of the roof(which is 10 years and in good condition with no leaks). Terrible company, 0/10, will not work with again and do not recommend.

  172. I couldn’t comment to your response but IF a adjuster came out to see that water is not coming from the land its coming from under the house, The house wasn’t built on a lake or nothing! The pipes originate from inside the home that leads …

  177. Zero response from Universal Property on the status of a very basic claim. We have left multiple voicemails and sent emails to the assigned claims adjuster listed on the web page. It states our claim is “in review”. No details or updates …

  178. The 5 star rating refers to your associate Patrice Prosper. Mr. Prosper provided signature customer service and was personable and professional.

  184. I’ve had 2 claims and neither claim has been approved both times the adjuster came out once without the roof contractor. The roof has hail damage missing shingles, every time it rains I’m getting water pouring into my home and the adjuster …

  185. If I could give them less than one star I would absolutely love to. It is impossible to get ahold of any of the agents (looking at you Tiffany and Michael). Then when they do they aren’t exactly the loveliest people to talk to! I have a …

  186. I usually don’t complete surveys unless I receive excellent service and this is one of those cases. The rep. for Universal Mark Reyes was very helpful with my request and went above and beyond to assist me and the mutual customer whose …

  187. I came home from a vacation only to find out my upstairs neighbor’s water heater emptied not only into my unit but the 2 units below me. UPCIC handled my claim quickly and professionally. I appreciate that they were with me every step of …

  188. I had a issue with my clients payment. I must say the customer service I experienced with rep Susana cabana and her supervisor Natasha D. Was outstanding. Universal definitely needs more like them. Give those ladies a raise.

  189. If I could give them 0 stars I would. This company is corrupt and will not help you. I have been working with large companies in Florida who say they refuse to do business with Universal because they are the worst company in Florida. I have …

  192. While I don’t love the claims process and got the run around for 2 weeks, I got ahold of Jake H in the customer service department and he changed the game! He explained things better than even the adjusters did. If I could give a separate …

  193. DO NOT USE THIS INSURANCE COMPANY!
    I filed a water damage claim back in September 2021 and the claim still has not been resolved. This company will lie to you and drag you along and delay so they …

  194. This company has a TERRIBLE sense of Urgency!! I filed a claim regarding water damage in March 2022 … The damage was behind our cabinets (that hold our sink and dish washer) in the wall. An Adjuster came out, assessed the damage, we …

  195. Most of the issues that I see are issues relating to poor communication with the servicing agent. In most cases, these issues could’ve been resolved by simply communicating with the agency who started the policy. In my 15 years of …

  196. Horrible with any type of communication! I currently have water damage in my home! I have small children and this has been a disaster! Filed a claim in the beginning of December. I’ve left the adjuster SEVERAL messages and sent many emails. …
