Home Insurance

A home policy has several moving parts. The amount needed to rebuild may differ from a home's market value, and some types of damage require separate coverage or endorsements.

What to review

  • Dwelling and other structures
  • belongings and valuation method
  • personal liability
  • additional living expenses
  • deductibles
  • water backup and other optional protections
  • exclusions and separate flood or earthquake coverage

Questions to bring

  • Is the home description current?
  • Would the dwelling limit reflect a realistic rebuilding discussion?
  • Which losses are excluded or limited?

Reading the details

Before choosing a policy, review the people and property listed, limits, deductibles, exclusions, optional endorsements, and effective date. Ask what changes when one option costs less than another. A proposal is a starting point for comparison; only the applicable policy and effective date determine coverage.

We can talk through the details and help you compare the terms that apply to your situation. A website page cannot determine whether a specific loss is covered.
