Frequently asked question

What does a standard homeowners insurance policy cover?

A standard policy (HO-3) typically provides coverage for your dwelling, other structures on your property (like a shed), your personal belongings, liability protection if someone is injured on your property, and additional living expenses if you’re temporarily unable to live in your home due to a covered loss.

How is the coverage amount for my home determined?

Your dwelling coverage should be based on the estimated cost to rebuild your home from the ground up, not its real estate market value. This rebuild cost includes materials and labor specific to your home’s features and your local area.

Are floods and earthquakes covered under my policy?

No. Standard homeowners insurance policies explicitly exclude damage caused by floods and earthquakes. These require separate, specialized policies. We can help you explore these important options to ensure you have complete protection.

How can I lower my homeowners insurance premium?

There are several ways! Bundling your auto and home insurance, installing security systems (alarms, deadbolts), choosing a higher deductible, and maintaining a good credit score are all common methods for securing discounts.
