Acuity, A Mutual Insurance Company, is based in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, and has been in business since 1925. It provides property and casualty insurance for individuals and businesses in more than 30 states and works with independent agents, according to the company.
Acuity says it insures nearly half a million homes and private passenger autos across its operating states, along with more than 125,000 businesses.
In the Colorado Division of Insurance’s 2025 homeowners data, Acuity is 46th among homeowners insurers (0.29% of written premium).
General reasons homeowners report for denied or short-paid claims, with any carrier (not a description of Acuity’s internal rules):
Dents in metal roofing, gutters or siding are sometimes treated as cosmetic, and some policies carry endorsements that limit cosmetic hail damage. Read the endorsement, then document functional damage such as fractured shingle mats, granule loss and cracked tiles.
Older roofs are often said to have failed from age rather than wind or hail. Storm dates, close-up photos, test squares and nearby damage reports help show what actually happened.
Smoke and ash can get into HVAC systems, insulation and soft goods even when a home doesn’t burn. Testing and a room-by-room cleaning scope help document it.
Freeze claims often turn on whether heat was maintained and where the pipe broke. Keep utility bills, thermostat records and the plumber’s written report on the cause.
Furniture, flooring, appliances and personal property are easy to undercount. A room-by-room inventory with photos, model numbers and receipts helps, and replacement cost policies may hold back depreciation until items are replaced.
Your agent can help with paperwork, but the insurer’s claim staff decides the claim. Send important information to the insurer in writing, copy your agent, and keep copies.
A Colorado homeowner’s insurer must make a copy of your policy, with declarations and endorsements, available within 3 business days after you ask, and a certified copy within 30 calendar days after a written request to its registered agent (C.R.S. § 10-4-110.8(10)).
Ask for the specific policy provision the denial or reduction relies on, the adjuster’s estimate and any reports. Colorado law prohibits unreasonable delay or denial of covered benefits (C.R.S. § 10-3-1115); whether that applies is a legal question for an attorney.
After a total loss of a furnished primary home’s contents, insurers must offer at least 30% of the contents limit without an inventory and allow at least 365 days to submit one. Replacement-cost dwelling policies must include at least 12 months of ALE (C.R.S. § 10-4-110.8(6), (11)).
If the disagreement is about the amount of loss, the appraisal clause may resolve it without court. Read its exact steps and deadlines.
A Colorado homeowner’s policy can’t require you to sue within a shorter time than the statute of limitations (C.R.S. § 10-4-110.8(12)). Ask a Colorado-licensed attorney about legal deadlines.

Ask for the inspection photos and the estimate, then have the roof documented slope by slope: hits per test square, damaged vents and flashing, and whether matching shingles are available. Colorado law also gives you the right to a copy of your policy within 3 business days of asking.
Yes. The agent placed the policy; the insurer’s adjuster decides the claim. We work only for you and handle the documentation, estimate and negotiation.
It can be, even when flames never reached the house. Document odor, soot, HVAC filters and ash in the attic or vents, and ask what cleaning or testing protocol the estimate is based on.
Ask your insurer. Under C.R.S. § 10-4-110.8(10), a homeowner’s insurer must make a copy of your policy, including the declarations page and endorsements, available within 3 business days after you request it, and a certified copy within 30 calendar days after a written request to its registered agent.
No. No one can honestly guarantee an outcome. We review the file, tell you what we see, and represent you if it makes sense to work together. Every claim is different, and prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
The claim review is free, and asking questions doesn’t hire us. If it makes sense to work together, the fee and services are explained in a written agreement before you sign.
