HOMEOWNERS INSURANCE

Protecting the place you call home.

Whether you live in town or out on the farm, we shop our carriers to find homeowners coverage that fits, and we explain your options in plain English.

WHAT IT TYPICALLY COVERS

The basics,  explained.

Your Home

The house itself, including attached structures like a garage.

Other
Structures

Detached garages, sheds, and fences on your property

Belongings

Furniture, clothing, and electronics inside your home.

Liability

Protection if someone is hurt on your property or you damage theirs.

Living
Expenses

Costs of staying elsewhere if a covered loss makes your home unlivable.

Coverage descriptions are general. Actual coverage depends on your policy and carrier.

​

Flood isn’t included

Standard homeowners policies don’t cover flood damage. 

​

​

​

Water backup and sump pump

Often an optional add-on, and worth a look if you have a basement.

​

​

​

Replacement cost vs. actual cash value

One pays to replace what was lost. The other subtracts for age and wear.

​

​

​

Wind and hail deductibles

Some policies use a separate, percentage-based deductible for storm damage.

​

​

​

Jewelry, firearms, and collectibles

These may have coverage limits unless they’re listed separately.

Coverage for every kind of homeowner

First-Time
Buyers

We’ll walk you through what a policy is and what your lender requires.

Older
Homes

Rental
Properties

Landlord coverage for homes and units you own but don’t live in.

Rural & 
Outbuildings

Acreage, barns, and detached buildings need a closer look.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Good to know

​

How much coverage do I need?

​

It depends on what it would cost to rebuild your home and replace your belongings, not what it would sell for. We’ll walk through the numbers with you.

​

​​What affects my rate?

​

The age and condition of the home, the roof, location, claims history, your deductible, and the coverages you choose.

​

​

What should I do after storm damage? 

​

If it’s safe, prevent further damage and take photos. Then call us and we’ll help you start your claim.
