About Althea

We exist to help you weather the next storm.
And the one after that.

Launching Early 2027 · Alabama, Louisiana and North Carolina

Your insurance should help prevent damage. And protect you when it happens.

Storms are getting stronger. Homeowners are paying more for insurance. We started Althea to change that.

We specialize in Wind + Hail coverage for FORTIFIED™ homes. We model how each home will hold up in a storm and use that understanding to price its coverage.

But pricing is only part of the work. We want to make it easier to understand how strengthening your home can lower your insurance costs, and help you take the next step.

A stronger home should cost less to insure.

01

Seek the Truth

The roof, the walls and the connections between them affect how a home holds up in a storm. They should affect its insurance price, too.

02

Engineer protection.

Insurance should do more than pay after a storm. It should help homeowners understand what they can improve and what those improvements could save.

03

Keep the promise.

When a home is damaged, the work is personal. Clear coverage, responsive service and help getting home are what matter.
