              Biggest scam company in the industry. Our claim has been going on for well over a year. My son's house flooded from a broken pipe under the foundation. We filed a claim (#*****) and Centauri recommended a specific contractor (Rainbow Restoration) to do the repairs because they had a previous working relationship with Centauri and they did great work. We did what Centauri recommended and have had nothing but problems. Our original Centauri agent was *************************, then when he quit ************************* became our agent, then when he quit ******************* became the agent. **** now blames us for taking their advise on hiring the contractor that they recommended. The contractor replaced the custom kitchen cabinets that were damaged and tried to put a pre-made ********** countertop on it. The generic counter top doesn't fit so they tried to fill in the gaps with an inch thick layer of caulk. On top of that they never replaced the entry door and the bi-fold doors that were damaged.

              I would encourage everyone to think twice about doing business with this insurance company. Why? Because when we moved to Florida 2 years ago we just went with the recommendation of who the seller used. We paid our premium in full (over $6500) first year but decided to go with monthly payments but did write a check for the first amount of $2029.10 on October 20, 2023 and mailed in that day! Wasn't actually due until November 13, 2023. Get a notice after Nov. 13th that haven't received payment and therefore our coverage lapsed Nov. 13th (thank the good Lord we didn't have anything happen). We had no idea Centauri didn't get our check and we don't know why. We nor our Agent got a courtesy phone call to let us know. Just the letter which as I said we didn't get until after Nov. 13th. I assume it is either the Postal Services fault in some way or someone at Centauri lost it. No fault of ours. You can bet that if we had had something happen to our properties I would have filed a lawsuit and I'm not a lawsuit type of person. I offered to pay Centauri in full the $6,000+ but they said NO!. We have never made a claim by the way. What gives? I guess they don't need the money. I will NEVER recommend Centauri to anyone. It appears by their rating of 1.67 out of 5 that we aren't the only ones unhappy with them. Also looks as if they are not BBB accredited.
