Do I need flood insurance if I'm not in a flood zone?

In Houston, for most homeowners, yes. Over 60% of Harvey-era flood claims came from homes outside FEMA flood zones. A preferred-risk NFIP policy typically runs $400–$700/year.

Is private flood better than NFIP?

Often yes in Houston — private carriers like Neptune offer higher limits (often $1M+), replacement cost on contents, and shorter waiting periods. In many ZIPs, private is also cheaper.

Do you write commercial auto for Stafford contractors?

Yes — from single-vehicle owner-operators to full fleets, we quote commercial auto through Progressive, Nationwide, and specialty markets.

Why Stafford

What Stafford residents should know about flood insurance.

Standard homeowners policies exclude flood damage. In Houston, that means every homeowner needs a separate flood policy — through the NFIP (federal) or a private carrier like Neptune. We quote both, side-by-side, and often find private flood is now cheaper.

Stafford has one of the highest concentrations of small commercial businesses per capita in Fort Bend. We handle everything from BOPs to commercial auto for the trades and professional services based here.
