Frequently Asked Homeowners Insurance Questions 

Homeowners insurance is crucial for protecting your home and personal property. However, many homeowners have questions about their policies and coverage.

Homeowners Insurance FAQs

The following are some of the most frequently asked questions:

What does homeowners insurance cover?

Homeowners insurance can offer financial protection for your home and belongings against damage or loss from events such as fire, theft, vandalism and certain severe weather conditions. Additionally, it typically offers liability coverage if someone gets injured on your property.

What is not covered?

Standard policies usually do not cover damage from floods, earthquakes or routine wear and tear. Separate policies or endorsements may be needed for these types of coverage.

How much homeowners insurance do I need?

The amount of coverage you need depends on the value of your home and belongings. It’s essential to have enough insurance to rebuild your home and replace your possessions in case of a total loss. An insurance agent can determine the appropriate coverage amount for your specific circumstances.

What is a deductible?

A deductible is the portion of a claim you are responsible for paying out of pocket before your insurance coverage begins. Higher deductibles typically result in lower premiums, but you’ll pay more in the event of a claim.

How are claims processed?

When you file a claim, an adjuster will assess the damage and determine the payout based on your policy’s terms. Documenting the damage and providing any necessary information to expedite the process is essential.

Can I make changes to my policy?

You can typically adjust your coverage, add endorsements or change your deductible anytime. It’s a good idea to review your policy frequently to ensure it meets your current needs.
