Home Insurance That Goes Beyond Four Walls

Homeowners insurance helps protect more than the physical structure of your house. The right policy can also provide coverage for your personal belongings, liability risks, and unexpected expenses when a covered loss disrupts your life.

Whether you're purchasing your first home, moving to a new property, or reviewing your existing insurance, we're here to help you understand your options and choose coverage that fits your needs.

What's Typically Covered by Homeowners Insurance?

Dwelling Coverage

Helps pay to repair or rebuild your home's structure following covered damage, such as certain fires, storms, or other insured events.

Personal Property Coverage

Helps protect belongings such as furniture, electronics, clothing, and household items against covered losses.

Personal Liability Protection

Can help protect you financially if you're found legally responsible for certain injuries or property damage involving others.

Additional Living Expenses

May help cover temporary housing and certain additional living costs if a covered loss makes your home uninhabitable.

Other Structures Coverage

Helps protect structures on your property that aren't attached to your home, such as detached garages, fences, and sheds.

Medical Payments to Others

Can help pay certain medical expenses when a guest is injured on your property, regardless of fault, subject to policy terms.

Coverage, limits, deductibles, and exclusions vary by policy.

The Right Coverage Starts With Understanding Your Home

No two homes are exactly alike, and neither are the people who live in them.

When evaluating homeowners insurance, it's important to consider more than your monthly premium.

Replacement Cost vs. Market Value

Your home's market value reflects what someone might pay to purchase it. Replacement cost generally refers to the estimated expense of rebuilding the structure using comparable materials and construction methods.

These figures can be very different. Choosing appropriate dwelling coverage helps reduce the risk of being underinsured following a significant loss.

Deductibles and Coverage Limits

Your deductible affects how much you pay out of pocket for a covered claim. Coverage limits determine the maximum amount your policy may pay for particular losses.

We'll help you evaluate these choices so you can balance protection and affordability.

Understanding What's Not Covered

Standard homeowners policies generally exclude flood damage and typically do not cover damage resulting from ordinary wear and tear or neglected maintenance. Earth movement, including earthquakes, is also commonly excluded.

Depending on your property and circumstances, additional coverage or separate policies may be worth considering.

Frequently Asked Questions About Homeowners Insurance

Is homeowners insurance required in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania law generally does not require homeowners to carry home insurance. However, mortgage lenders typically require coverage as a condition of financing.

Even without a mortgage, homeowners insurance can provide important financial protection against covered property damage and liability claims.

Does homeowners insurance cover water damage?

It depends on the cause. Certain sudden and accidental water losses may be covered, while flooding, sewer backups, gradual leaks, and maintenance-related damage may be excluded or require additional coverage.

Reviewing these distinctions before a loss occurs is important.

How much homeowners insurance do I need?

The appropriate amount depends on factors such as your home's estimated rebuilding cost, personal belongings, liability exposure, and financial circumstances.

Your home's purchase price or market value alone may not accurately reflect the amount needed to rebuild it.

Can I save money by bundling home and auto insurance?

Bundling homeowners and auto insurance may qualify you for a multi-policy discount, depending on the insurer and eligibility requirements.

It's worth comparing the overall cost and coverage of both policies rather than focusing on the discount alone.

Protect Your Home With Confidence

Your home deserves protection that reflects its value in your life, not just its estimated price.
