Extreme Weather Is Getting More Expensive

When the next big storm hits, will your savings account be ready? There’s a smarter way to protect it — without draining your reserves to rebuild.

Imagine getting a $20,000 bill after a storm hits.

Even the best homeowners insurance has a massive, hidden catch. When a major storm hits, your standard flat deductible vanishes — instantly replaced by a Percentage Deductible, usually 2% to 5% of your home’s total insured value.

$20,000

On a $400,000 home, a 5% wind/hail deductible means you pay $20,000 out of pocket before your insurance pays a single dime. You don’t have to drain your savings to rebuild — here’s how to eliminate that risk entirely.

Deductible Shield · Buy-Down

See the gap a storm leaves behind

When severe wind, catastrophic hail, or an earthquake strikes, traditional policies often impose a separate, mandatory percentage deductible — a surprise bill before your coverage kicks in. Drag to see yours.

Home value $400,000 Storm deductible

Your out-of-pocket before coverage

$8,000

That's what you'd pay first on a claim — the Deductible Shield covers this gap so you're not left stranded.

Madrona Will Help You Cover This Gap

Two Ways to Close the Gap

Two specialized policies that sit alongside your existing coverage — pick the approach that fits how you want to be protected.

Solution 1

The Deductible Buy-Down

Erasing the "percent" shock

A financial shock absorber that sits seamlessly alongside your current policy.

How it works

When a severe storm triggers that massive percentage deductible, your Buy-Down policy steps in to cover it.

The result

Your out-of-pocket gap shrinks to a small, flat amount you choose — as low as $2,500. Your home gets repaired, and your savings stay safe.

Solution 2

Parametric Insurance

Instant cash, zero red tape

Bypasses the wait entirely by triggering payouts on objective data. Full payouts trigger if hail reaches 1.75 inches. Tornado / Hurricane payouts scale automatically by severity.

No claims adjuster needed

No waiting for contractors or arguing over estimates.

Pure cash, instant freedom

Money is deposited directly to you with zero restrictions — pay your deductible, cover a hotel, buy a generator, or clear debris.

Zero penalty

Claiming a parametric payout will never increase your primary homeowners rate.
