Have them competitively quote it again.I have an independent as well. But after cutting the check for this months coverage (2 homes/2 truck/1 car/2 lives) I need to address this. Getting pretty spendy.

Doing that today when I drop the check.
My agent is a life long friend. He will recognize the look.

I had over 10 policies with SAFECO (rental properties, primary home, auto etc). Pulling everything from them. Never had a claim. They randomly sent a handyman out to check the roof on one of my rentals and felt the roof only had about 5 years left in it. My choice was to put a new roof on it or pay $120 to a qualified roofing contractor from their list to send them a report on the condition. If the contractor felt the roof had better than 5 years they would not make me put a new roof on it. If it was less, then I had 3 months to get it done. The reality was, I planned on putting a new roof on it in the next year or so but donÂ’t like to be strong-armed.
I told them if they cared that much, they could pay the $120 and I would abide by the results. They said no and told me they would cancel that particular policy if I ignored it. I ignored it and they did cancel it. I am moving every policy I own to another company as they come due. Agency did nothing to help. Merritt Hall was the agency. WonÂ’t use them again either.
