Homeowners’ insurance provides financial protection against disasters. A standard policy insures the home itself, and the things you keep in it.

Homeowners’ insurance covers both damage to your property, your liability or legal responsibility for any injuries, and property damage that you or members of your family cause to other people. This includes damage caused by household pets.

Damage caused by most disasters is covered, but there are exceptions. The most significant exceptions include damage caused by floods, earthquakes, and poor maintenance. You must buy two separate policies for flood and earthquake coverage. Maintenance-related problems are the homeowner’s responsibility.

I contacted Fearnow based upon a recommendation after receiving a non-renewal HO policy notice and I am so glad I did! I needed a new roof and wind mitigation report to become insurable before my current policy expired. It was a very stressful time but Joe Boyle provided excellent customer service and walked along side me through the entire journey. He found better coverages for both my auto and home policies at lower costs to me. I am so very grateful to have some money back in my pocket and insurance coverage I can count on. Joe Boyle @ Fearnow Insurance provided excellent customer service and was an absolute pleasure to work with. I look forward to using Fearnow Insurance for all my future insurance needs. I highly recommend them!

Lydia Bobek is patient, thoughtful, and helpful! I will be relocating to the area from New York State so called around to a few companies for auto insurance quotes. Lydia not only gave me the least expensive quote, she also surpassed the other agents with her customer service skills. I would like to note that not feeling pressured into a decision that involves money and content that I am unfamiliar with is very important to me. Lydia never made me feel pressured. She was able to keep in touch with me in a professional and polite manner whilst never being pushy. I am very appreciative!

A standard Homeowners’ insurance policy includes four essential types of coverage. They include:

Coverage for the structure of your home

This part of your policy pays to repair or rebuild your home if it is damaged or destroyed by fire, hurricane, hail, lightning, or other disaster listed in your policy.  It will not pay for damage caused by a flood, earthquake, or routine wear and tear.  When purchasing coverage for the structure of your home, it is important to buy enough to fully rebuild your home.

Most standard policies also cover structures that are detached from your home such as a garage, tool shed, or gazebo.  Generally, these structures are covered for about 10% of the amount of insurance you have on the structure of your home.  If you need more coverage, talk to your insurance agent about increasing your coverage or purchasing an Umbrella policy.

Coverage for your personal belongings

Your furniture, clothes, sports equipment, and other personal items are covered if they are stolen or destroyed by fire, hurricane, or other insured disaster.  Most companies provide coverage for 50% to 70% of the amount of insurance you have on the structure of your home.  So, if you have $100,000 worth of insurance on the structure of your home, you would have between $50,000 to $70,000 worth of coverage for your belongings.  The best way to determine if this is enough coverage is to conduct a home inventory.

This part of your policy includes off-premises coverage.  This means that your belongings are covered anywhere in the world, unless you have decided against off-premises coverage.  Some companies limit the amount to 10% of the amount of insurance you have for your possessions.  You also have up to $500 of coverage for unauthorized use of your credit cards.

Expensive items such as jewelry, furs, and silverware are covered, but there are usually limitations if they are stolen.  Generally, you are covered for between $1,000 to $2,000 for all of your jewelry and furs.  To insure these items to their full value, purchase a special Personal Property endorsement, or floater, and insure the item for its appraised value.  Coverage includes “accidental disappearance,” meaning coverage if you simply lose that item, and there is no deductible.

Trees, plants, and shrubs are also covered under standard Homeowners’ insurance.  Generally, these items are covered for 5% of the insurance on the house – up to about $500 per item.  Perils covered are theft, fire, lightning, explosion, vandalism, riot, and even falling aircraft.  They are not covered for damage by wind or disease.

Liability Protection

Liability protection covers you against lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage that you or family members cause to other people.  It also pays for damage caused by your pets.  So if your son, daughter, or dog accidentally ruins your neighbor’s expensive rug, you are covered.  However, if they destroy your rug, you are not covered.

The liability portion of your policy pays for both the cost of defending you in court and any court awards – up to the limit of your policy.  You are also covered, not just in your home, but anywhere in the world.

Liability limits generally start at about $100,000.  However, experts recommend that you purchase at least $300,000 worth of protection.  Some people feel more comfortable with even more coverage.  You can purchase an Umbrella, or Excess Liability policy, which provides broader coverage, including claims against you for libel and slander, as well as higher liability limits.  Generally, umbrella policies cost between $200 to $350 for $1 million of additional liability protection.

Your policy also provides no-fault medical coverage.  In the event a friend or neighbor is injured in your home, he or she can simply submit medical bills to your insurance company.  This way, expenses are paid without their filing a liability claim against you.  You can generally get $1,000 to $5,000 worth of this coverage.  It does not, however, pay the medical bills for your family or your pet.

Additional Living Expenses Coverage

This coverage includes expenses for hotel bills, restaurant meals, or other living expenses incurred while your home is being rebuilt or is uninhabitable after a covered disaster.  Coverage for additional living expenses differs from carrier to carrier.  Many policies provide coverage for about 20% of the insurance on your house.  You can increase this coverage, however, for an additional premium.  Some companies sell a policy that provides an unlimited amount of loss-of-use coverage, for a limited amount of time.

If you rent out part of your house, this coverage will also reimburse you for the rent that you would have collected from your tenant if your home had not been destroyed.
