Homeowners insurance?

We are buying a house in the area - can anyone recommend a good local insurance company (I am not having any luck with our national carrier)? I heard that Coastal Insurance was good but want to be sure...
Thanks!

Quite frankly, for better or for worse, the vast majority of us won't find out if these newly hatched insurance companies will be any "good" until the fit-hits-the-shan; and then it will be too late.

I can guarantee you this--any of them will proficiently cash your yearly insurance premium check...you can only judge if one is better than the other by the quality of the swag you'll receive (pen, calendar, day-planner).

coastal is the biggest and had some of the best rates. few of these co's have been tested
