Homeowners Insurance · The Colony, Texas

The Colony is really two cities. Coverage has to know which one you're in.

An established core in the high-$300Ks and a Tribute build well into seven figures. We help owners on both sides set coverage that fits the home — not the city average.

The Colony coverage check, two ways

The original sections of The Colony — the 1980s and 1990s build-outs east of Lake Lewisville — look a lot like neighboring Lewisville and Carrollton: aging roofs, aging systems, and dwelling limits that have quietly fallen behind today's rebuild cost.

The Tribute is a different conversation entirely. Newer construction, golf-course and lakefront views, finishes and square footage that put a lot of homes well above $1 million. At those values, the wind/hail deductible (usually a percentage of dwelling) is a five-figure check, and not every carrier writes the terms a luxury home actually needs. We handle both — and we'll be honest about which one you're really in.

Hail, wind, and deductible math in The Colony

DFW averages 3 to 5 significant hail events per year. The 2023 DFW hailstorms alone produced an estimated $7–10 billion in insured Texas losses (95% from hail), and Texas led the country with 1,123 hail events that year.

Two value tiers, two pictures

  • $385K original-core home1% deductible ≈ $3,850 · 2% deductible ≈ $7,700.
  • $1M Tribute home1% deductible ≈ $10,000 · 2% deductible ≈ $20,000.

Most Texas policies require wind and hail claims to be reported within one year of the storm — check your policy's deadline. On older roofs paid at actual cash value, depreciation can shrink the carrier's payout below the actual repair bill. We model your home's real numbers before you sign.

Bundle home + auto and save

Most of our clients save $300–$800 a year when we bundle home and auto with the same carrier. For households in The Colony with two cars and a clean loss history, the savings tend to land toward the higher end of that range.

We quote it both ways — bundled and stand-alone — and show you the math. If bundling isn't your best deal, we'll say so.

The umbrella case

With home + auto bundled, adding $1 million of umbrella liability typically runs $200–$400 a year. For Tribute homeowners with significant equity, retirement savings, and teen drivers in the mix, $2M or $3M may be the right number — and we'll walk through that math too.

Frequently asked questions

I own in the established part of The Colony — what's the main coverage issue I should know about?
Roof age and dwelling-limit drift. A lot of original-core homes in The Colony date to the 1980s and 1990s, which means second-generation roofs and original major systems. Many carriers shift roofs past 15 or 20 years from replacement-cost settlement to actual cash value — and dwelling limits set against the original purchase price can be tens of thousands short of today's rebuild cost.
I own in the Tribute — does the high value just mean a bigger premium?
It can mean a lot more than that. At seven-figure dwelling limits, your wind/hail deductible (usually a percentage of dwelling) is well into five figures. Some carriers won't write at those values, or write only on terms that don't fit luxury construction. We shop for the carrier that handles your finish level, your other-structures limit, and your liability picture properly — not just the one that quotes.
Most of the city averages a value in the high-$300Ks — does that figure apply to me?
Not necessarily. The Colony has a big spread: a $385K home in the original core and a $1.2M home in the Tribute don't need the same conversation. We start with what your home would actually cost to rebuild today and work outward from there — not with a city-average shortcut.
What's the deductible math at the city-typical value?
At a $385,000 dwelling limit, a 1% wind/hail deductible is about $3,850 out of pocket per claim; a 2% deductible is about $7,700. At a $1,000,000 Tribute home, those become $10,000 and $20,000. Knowing the dollar figure before the storm is the whole point of the conversation.
How do you actually shop my home in The Colony?
We're independent, so we pull quotes from multiple A-rated carriers using the same coverage limits and deductibles, then walk through the side-by-side. Different sections of The Colony fit different carrier appetites — we'll put you with the one whose terms (roof age cutoffs, other-structures limits, water damage caps) actually fit your home.
