Tied to give a summary in my original post, but to get it down to the two we leaned heavily on state of Florida department of consumer affairs, but also checked out the usual sources, the BBB, Seniors against Crime, etc. (which we don't put a lot of confidence in but did consider), asked relatives (also natives Floridians) in Clermont (head office of one company). Relative (brother in law) said very old reliable companies, but no personal experience. Then as an aside did check on line reviews, both phenomenal 5 stars but not a lot of confidence. Most confident of the state's information on both but have to make a final decision and hoping to get experiences from fellow village residents. We are not trying to get lowest price necessarily. Did the best we could to eliminate any companies that used "door knockers" and participated in the scenario of a free roof... that proved to be a deeper dive, but it is possible to find which companies have filed these law suits that end in capitulation by insurance companies due to the expense of on going litigation. That's about all we could do, so now just wanted to know if anyone would share their personal dealings with one or both !
