When Choosing Home Insurance
Coverage A
Coverage A is the dwelling portion of a homeowners insurance policy. Think of it as the part of the policy that takes care of what you move into on move-in day! It is listed as a dollar value, typically the amount determined by the insurance company that is needed to rebuild your home in case of a total loss.
Coverage B
The coverage B portion of your policy covers the appurtenant (other structures) on your property. Examples would be a pool house, a she-shed, pole building, or even a fence.
Coverage C
Coverage C is the contents in your home. I define your contents as all the stuff you would take with you if you were to move to a new home tomorrow.
Liability & Guest Injuries
Liability coverage on your homeowner’s policy that provides coverage if you or something from your property accidentally injures an individual or neighboring property.
The Overall Policy
Together, these all come together to form your insurance policy. You will want to spend time looking at any risks you are willing to take or any specific coverages you want to add to ensure that your belongings and family are covered.

Learning Center FAQ's
What may not be covered by homeowner’s insurance?
There are some things that can’t be insured on your home insurance. A couple examples may be flood, damage caused by insects/rodents, rust, and general wear & tear. (This is not an exhaustive list. It is always best to speak with your agent when discussing coverage.)
My neighbor’s tree fell on my house. Does my home insurance take care of the damage?
Your own insurance should cover the loss. Your insurance company may be able to recover the amount it pays and your deductible from the homeowner’s insurance that your neighbor may have, assuming the loss occurred as a result of your neighbor’s negligence.
Does home insurance cover my student child while away at school?
Most homeowner’s insurance policies will cover full-time students if they live in on-campus housing. If they opt to live off campus, a renter’s insurance policy in their name may be required.
Does home insurance cover my contents in a storage facility?
Yes, the contents portion of your homeowner’s insurance covers your personal property, even if your belongings are off premises in a storage unit. However, there may be a dollar limit to the coverage.
Can I change homeowner’s insurance carriers at any time?
Yes, you can change your insurance at any time. You should be sure to have your new insurance in place before you cancel your old policy. I recommend pricing your home insurance every 3-5 years to see if they can get a better rate. The logical time to shop home insurance is at renewal, but it can be changed at any time.
