Their ratings give you a good idea how a company treats its customers and how well it pays its claims. To check out a company on J.D. Power's website go to: jdpower.com, click on the "Insurance" button at the top of the page, then click on "Homeowners Insurance Company Ratings" at the bottom of the next page. 3. A.M. Best - The A.M. Best website provides financial information about insurance companies. Their ratings will give you a good idea about their financial stability and their ability to pay their claims.
