Homeowners Insurance

What does homeowners insurance cover?

A standard homeowners policy protects you against a range of common risks, helping you rebuild, replace, or recover when life doesn’t go as planned.

Coverage typically includes:

  • Your Home & Other Structures — Covers your main dwelling, plus detached garages, fences, or sheds.

  • Personal Property — Protects your belongings like furniture, electronics, and clothing from covered losses.

  • Loss of Use — Helps pay for temporary living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable after a covered claim.

  • Liability Coverage — Covers injuries or property damage you’re legally responsible for, such as accidents on your property.

Common covered perils

Most homeowners insurance policies protect against damage caused by:

  • Fire or lightning

  • Windstorms or hail

  • Smoke

  • Explosions

  • Theft or vandalism

  • Falling objects

  • Damage from vehicles or aircraft

(Each policy may vary—our team helps you review what’s included and what’s not.)

Optional add-ons for added protection

Customize your policy with endorsements that align with your property, lifestyle, and risk tolerance.

Consider adding:

  • Extended Replacement Cost — Covers rebuild costs that exceed your dwelling limit due to inflation or rising construction prices.

  • Scheduled Personal Property — Adds higher coverage for valuables like jewelry, art, or collectibles.

  • Water Backup Coverage — Covers damage from backed-up drains or sump pumps.

  • Ordinance or Law Coverage — Pays for rebuilding to current building codes after a covered loss.

What’s not typically covered

While homeowners insurance provides broad protection, some events require separate or optional coverage.

Common exclusions include:

  • Earthquakes & Floods — Typically require separate policies.

  • Wear and Tear or Maintenance Issues — Routine upkeep or deterioration isn’t covered.

  • Pests & Mold — Infestations and mold are often excluded unless caused by a covered peril.
