Wind Deductible Buy Down

Making Coverage a Breeze

A major wind event can result in significant property damage, but for many policyholders, the financial challenge extends beyond the loss itself. Today’s property insurance policies often include percentage-based wind deductibles that can translate into substantial out-of-pocket costs when a claim occurs.

Wind Deductible Buy Down coverage is designed to help reduce that exposure. By lowering the amount you are responsible for paying after a covered wind loss, this solution allows homeowners and commercial property owners to better manage risk, protect cash flow, and maintain greater financial certainty.

Through our carrier partner, AEGIS, and their underwriting platform OPAL, policyholders gain access to a flexible and reliable coverage option that helps transform high-retention programs into tailored protection designed around their specific needs. AEGIS has been recognized for outstanding service quality, providing confidence that policyholders have a trusted partner when it matters most.

Homeowners: Reduce the Impact of a Major Wind Loss

For homeowners, a large wind deductible can create a significant financial burden following a storm. For example, a home insured for $1,000,000 with a 5% wind deductible could leave the homeowner responsible for $50,000 before insurance coverage applies. A Wind Deductible Buy Down policy can reduce that responsibility to a lower deductible level, helping preserve savings and reduce financial stress after a loss.

Key benefits include:

• Lower out-of-pocket costs following wind, hail, storm, or hurricane damage
• More predictable financial exposure
• Enhanced protection for your personal assets
• Greater peace of mind during severe weather seasons
• Deductibles can be bought down to percentage or flat dollar amount tailored to your needs

Commercial Property: Strengthen Your Risk Management Strategy

Commercial property owners often face even larger wind deductibles due to rising property values, lender requirements, and increasing catastrophe exposures. Wind Deductible Buy Down coverage helps businesses reduce their financial retention and maintain business continuity when severe weather strikes.

Commercial coverage offers limits up to $5 million for both coastal and inland properties. Businesses can customize coverage to align with their risk tolerance while benefiting from some of the lowest retention options available in the market.
Whether you own a single location or manage a portfolio of properties, a buy down strategy can help minimize unexpected expenses, protect operating budgets, and create a more resilient insurance program.
