Home Insurance

Your home is the biggest investment you'll probably ever make. And although you planned for months (or even years) before you bought or built your home, you can't plan for the unthinkable. That's why it's so important for you to protect your property with home insurance.

What Does Homeowners Insurance Protect?

Home insurance allows you to protect the structure and contents of your home. If you should suffer losses due to unexpected situations, your policy will step in to cover the repairs and replacement of anything that was damaged. Every policy is different, but in general, home insurance covers losses from break-ins, vandalism or motor vehicle accidents that damage your property; losses due to malfunctions in your home, like water damage from plumbing leaks or water heaters and electrical fires; and losses due to weather events, including damage from wind, hail, lightning and ice.

There are also some events that aren't covered, such as flood damage. We'll be glad to answer any questions you may have about the specific parts of your home insurance policy.

Malfunctions inside the home

Add endorsements for special items

Once you have a standard policy, home insurance companies allow you to add endorsements to cover specific types of property. Jewelry, electronics and antiques are among the most common. Our agents will help you determine the value of your possessions and make sure they're properly covered.

Liability insurance gives you even more protection

You may also choose to add liability insurance through your homeowners' policy. General liability protects you from lawsuits and other legal claims, while personal umbrella policies offer coverage above and beyond traditional liability policies and may cover losses that aren't otherwise insurable.
