Coverage basics

Know the categories—not just the premium.

Home structure

Dwelling

Coverage commonly associated with repairing or rebuilding the home after a covered loss, subject to policy terms and limits.

Belongings

Personal property

Coverage commonly associated with personal belongings, with limits and exclusions that may vary by category.

Responsibility

Personal liability

Coverage that may apply when the policyholder is legally responsible for certain injuries or property damage.

Temporary costs

Loss of use

Coverage that may help with additional living expenses when a covered loss makes a home temporarily uninhabitable.

Prepare to compare

Bring accurate facts to the conversation.

Exact underwriting questions vary by insurer, state, property, and requested coverage.

01
Property profile

Year built, square footage, construction type, roof age, major systems, and occupancy.

02
Protection and updates

Smoke alarms, security systems, sprinklers, storm protection, and documented renovations.

03
Coverage priorities

Desired limits, deductible comfort, belongings, liability, and optional endorsements to discuss.

04
Insurance history

Current coverage, prior claims, requested effective date, and any ownership or mortgage details requested.

Questions worth asking

Compare more than one headline price.

Which losses are covered—and which are excluded?

Ask for policy-specific explanations and written documents. Flood and earthquake coverage, for example, may require separate policies or endorsements.

How were dwelling and personal-property limits determined?

Ask how replacement cost, actual cash value, sublimits, and inflation protection may apply.

What deductible applies in different situations?

Some policies may use different deductibles for wind, named storms, or other causes of loss.

Who is offering or advising on the policy?

Confirm the insurer, agency, producer licensing, contact method, and how to verify credentials in your state.
