Understanding Coverage for Screened Pool Enclosures
If you live in Florida and have a pool, chances are you also have a screened enclosure to keep out bugs and debris. But when it comes to insurance, you might be wondering if these enclosures are covered under your policy. Let’s break it down in simple terms.
What Does Homeowners Insurance Typically Cover?
Homeowners insurance usually covers the structure of your home and other structures on your property, like a garage or shed. However, when it comes to screened pool enclosures, things can get a bit tricky.
In Florida, some policies might cover damage to your screened enclosure, but this often depends on the cause of the damage. For example, if a hurricane damages your enclosure, it might not be covered unless you have specific hurricane coverage. On the other hand, if a tree falls on it, you might be covered. Many homeowner’s insurance companies will allow you to add additional screen closure coverage if you need it.
What Should You Do?
It’s important to review your homeowner’s insurance policy to see what it specifically covers regarding screened enclosures. If you’re unsure or need more coverage, consider speaking with your insurance agent. They can help you understand your current policy and explore options for additional coverage if needed.
