Charley Insurance is based in Estero, FL, in the heart of Lee County. We serve homeowners and businesses across Southwest Florida, including Bonita Springs, Naples, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Marco Island, Lehigh Acres, Ave Maria, Babcock Ranch, Punta Gorda, Sarasota, and Lakewood Ranch. Essentially Manatee, Sarasota, Charlotte, Lee, and Collier counties. Being local isn't just a tagline. It means we understand the specific underwriting environment you're in.

Florida is one of the most beautiful places in the world to live and one of the most challenging to insure. From hurricane-force winds and storm surge along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts to widespread inland flooding that catches homeowners off guard, the risks here are real, frequent, and expensive. Standard insurance policies are often not enough. Florida's unique geography, building codes, and storm history demand coverage that's specifically structured for this state, not a one-size-fits-all policy built somewhere else.

At Charley Insurance, we specialize in exactly that, because we take pride in being local to Southwest Florida. If you're looking for home, auto, commercial, flood, or umbrella coverage in SWFL, we offer it all in one place here. SWFL is its own underwriting environment, with hurricane wind exposure, FEMA flood zones AE and VE along the coast, roof age scrutiny on homes built before 2002, and the deductible math around named-storm versus all-other-perils that confuses most homeowners. We sit down with you, walk through what your current policy actually covers (and doesn't), and rebuild the package so it reflects how a SWFL home actually gets damaged, not how a generic Florida quote engine assumes it will.
