Useless

by Happy on Jun 4, 2016
1 out of 5 stars

They make it your responsibility to make sure your adjustor does their job. You must call constantly to get an answer. I have heard other insurance companies address issues right away, these people do not. It will be your second job to make sure they do their job. Do not waste your time, find a real organization to provide you your insurance.

Money only flows one way

Had a hail claim on my roof. 10 neighbors on my block all had hail claims too. 2 of us had SGI home insurance. 8 roofs were fixed, 2 were not. Guess which two? They said I did not have hail damage on my shingles, but they allowed a hail claim on my roof vents, chimney and air conditioner. So how can I have hail damage on those and not the shingles? They offered a $700 payment on those, but then my insurance rates would go through the roof. I am really scared that on a basic simple claim, should be a no-brainer, what happens if I had a house fire? I spoke with many people who shared the same story with me, and roofers all say don't even bother with SGI.

If I could rate negative stars, I would

The most unprofessional company I’ve had the “pleasure” of dealing with. They will do everything in their power to not cover your claim. Took months for them to decide that the work they told me to go ahead and do (because I was covered for it), to in fact not to be covered for it. Absolutely atrocious mannerisms and extremely rude. I don’t know how they’re still in business, honestly.

Terrible insurance

Been a customer for close to 40 years. Never missed a payment. Had two claims last year due to Mother Nature, still dealing with one claim, for almost a year! Both times was told that being a great customer my premiums would not go up!!!! Received yearly renewal and went up $2000 or 80% of the past premium. Called 3 times to discuss, but being busy they will return my call... Nothing return call other than to say my premium is due …lol. Cancelled my account with them!!!
Amazing, I have had 3 different policies with them over the years, after today nothing exists with them !!
One terrible company, as the old boys say!!
It’s all good until you need or use it`1

Had hail damage, literally every house surrounding me in the neighbourhood had shingles replaced. SGI said my roof still had five years. I looked for myself, shingles were down to the paper in places. Never never again would I use or endorse this company... never! Super bad! Don't waste your money.

Friendly, no hassle with claim

by Dalbo on Aug 25, 2021
5 out of 5 stars

Had a water leak in my ensuite which entered a room below. Put a claim in and the adjuster was very friendly and proactively followed up when repairs were completed. I only have good things to say about how easy the claim process was. Everything I expected to be covered and repaired was done so and in a timely manner.

Greedy!

I have been a client with them for years and never had ONE claim with these crooks. However year after year they have been increasing my monthly payments. I called them on it one time and they gave me this lame excuse that it was due to inflation. Please. This company made over 70 million dollars in profit last year and they need to nickel and dime a single income homeowner and blame inflation. I hope they realize what low ethics and morals they have.

Sewer backup

by Eric Walberg on Apr 29, 2021
1 out of 5 stars

Today I went to SGI to inquire about the next step in the process. What I learned is that if the sewer back up occurs as a result of an issue on the street the onus is on the city to repair. If the problem is in our yard, insurance will cover the cost. If the problem is located under our house then you are on the hook for the repairs.
In addition, should I choose to make this claim I lose my no claim benefit of five hundred dollars for three years? In the end, add the thousand dollar deductible plus the loss of no claim for three years and my total bill to make a claim is twenty-five hundred dollars.
SGI is a huge rip-off as I pay them a huge amount of over three thousand dollars a year for insurance and they don't want to cover anything... Save your money and go elsewhere

The water claim that just won’t go away. All I want is what I had replaced. Seems as if between the Insurance company and the Adjusting company, they will go to every option not to have your items fixed properly or replaced. Is this not why an individual buys insurance???
