Homeowners Insurance in Plano, TX
Local independent agency. 15+ carriers shopped. Same-day binders for purchase closings.
Plano homeowners have a unique insurance profile — high-value homes, professional demographics, generally well-maintained properties, and exposure to the same DFW hail risk that's reshaped the entire North Texas market in 2024-2025. The captive carriers know it, which is why their renewals keep climbing while their underwriting tightens.
TAP Insurance Agency is a Rhome-based independent agency serving Plano, Frisco, McKinney, and the broader North DFW corridor. We shop your home across 15+ carriers — including the carriers that are actively writing Plano right now, like Homeowners of America (HOA), Wellington, Swyfft, and Bamboo — and recommend the best fit for your specific home and budget.
Why Plano homeowners are switching from captive carriers
Three trends we're seeing across Plano in 2026:
1. Captive carriers tightening their Plano book
Several big-name national carriers have either non-renewed Plano policies, capped writing new business, or raised wind/hail deductibles to 2% by default. That's $10,000+ out of pocket on a $500,000 home before a hail claim pays anything.
2. Premium growth outpacing home value growth
Texas HO premiums are up ~40% since 2022. Plano-specific premiums have outpaced that in many cases. Captive carriers don't shop — they just renew at the new rate. Independent agencies shop every year.
3. Roof age is the new credit score
Almost every Plano carrier's underwriting now treats roof age as a primary risk factor. If your roof is approaching 15+ years, several carriers won't write you at all. We know which ones still will — and at what rate.

The Sola Wind/Hail Deductible Buy-Down
DFW averages 800+ hail events per year. Plano sits in the heart of that exposure. If your homeowners policy carries a 2% wind/hail deductible — and most current Plano policies do — that's $10,000+ out of pocket on a $500,000 home before insurance pays anything on a hail claim.
We're one of the few North Texas agencies offering Sola Wind/Hail Deductible Protection — a separate policy that pays your wind/hail deductible directly when a qualifying storm hits. Coverage from $2,000 to $25,000. Average $300/yr savings when paired with a higher HO deductible. Learn more →
What to bring to your Plano quote
To get an apples-to-apples quote comparison in under 30 minutes, we need four data points from your current homeowners declarations page:
1. Dwelling coverage limit
"Coverage A" on your dec page. Critical: if you bought your Plano home a few years ago, your dwelling limit may be set at the original purchase price — not current replacement cost. Texas construction costs are up ~35% since 2021.
2. Wind/hail deductible (dollar AND percentage)
Most Plano policies have shifted to 2% wind/hail in 2024-2025. We'll show you what a flat-dollar option costs — sometimes the premium difference is small and the out-of-pocket savings are significant.
3. Year your roof was last replaced
Roof age drives carrier selection more than almost any other factor. A roof under 10 years opens up your best options.
4. Claims in last 5 years
Honest answers help us route your file to the carrier most likely to write you well at the best rate.

Yes. HOA, Swyfft, and a couple of our other partners write up to high-value dwellings. For very high-net-worth Plano homes (typically $2M+), we have specialty carrier access (Pure, Chubb, Cincinnati) and can quote there too.
Almost always worth doing. Bundle discounts in 2026 are running 10-25% across most carriers. We write Progressive, Safeco, GEICO, Bamboo, and several others on the auto side. A bundle review often surfaces savings people didn't expect.
Property address, purchase price, year built, square footage, lender info for the mortgagee clause, and any prior claims on the property. We can run quotes immediately and bind the day before closing. Same-day binders are standard for purchases.
Probably yes — some carriers won't write a home with 2+ hail claims in the last 3-5 years. But several of our carriers still will, depending on the timeline, payouts, and whether the roof has since been replaced. We'll be straightforward about what your options look like.
