				 Thank you 
 
			
			Thanks to all for your helpful suggestions!  We have had insurance coverage through a local agency since 1998.  It was a family run agency, but changed names 3 times since 1998.
 I always felt they shopped around to provide us with the best coverage for our home and within the past 1-2 years, we added auto and watercraft policies.
 
 I don't recall that we have ever submitted a claim through them until recently.  They will not be paying the claim based on an understanding of our homeowners coverage I had with them in 2014.  The company had undergone another name change and we moved here as our primary residence.  The original people I talked to are no longer with the company.  There is nothing in writing, no recorded phone calls, etc.
 
 As one poster noted, a company is only as good as in the manner they process claims.
 
 Thank you again for all of your recommendations.  I will research the most promising ones.  We'd like to go with a company who has a great reputation and one that will revisit potential policy changes with us to ensure we make the best selections for our situation especially when they have a name and personnel changes.
