Coverages

What does dwelling coverage pay for?

It helps rebuild the structure after a covered loss such as fire or wind. Limits should reflect estimated replacement cost, not market value.

How does personal property coverage work?

It covers your belongings at home and sometimes off premises. High value items like jewelry or instruments may need scheduling with specific limits.

Do I need separate flood insurance?

Yes if you are in a flood zone or want that peril covered… standard home policies exclude flood. Your lender may require a separate policy depending on location.

Is water backup the same as flood?

No… water backup refers to sump or sewer backup and can be added by endorsement. Flood is a separate policy for rising water from outside.

What is loss of use coverage?

It pays for additional living expenses when a covered loss makes your home uninhabitable, such as rental costs and extra meals up to policy limits.

Location, construction type, roof age, coverage limits, deductible, prior claims, and credit based insurance scores can affect price. See credit and rates for background.

Does bundling with auto help in NC?

Will roof age impact my price?

Yes… newer roofs and wind resistant materials can improve eligibility and price. Keep documentation of updates for underwriting.

Why did my renewal go up?

Deductibles and Claims

Which deductible should I choose?

Pick a level that keeps premiums reasonable while still manageable during a claim. Some carriers offer separate wind or named storm deductibles along the coast.

Actual cash value vs replacement cost on contents?

Replacement cost pays to replace items with new of like kind, while ACV subtracts depreciation. Many homeowners choose replacement cost when available.

Do claims affect my eligibility with other carriers?

How fast can I get proof for closing?

Often same day after binding… we email the binder to your lender and send ID cards if you bundle auto. Begin at home quote.

Endorsements and Special Situations

Do I need ordinance or law coverage?

Helpful when code upgrades are required after a covered loss. Many policies include a percentage of Coverage A for this purpose.

Is equipment breakdown worthwhile?

It can cover sudden failure of systems like HVAC or appliances. We compare the cost versus likely benefit for your home.

What about short term rentals or home businesses?

These exposures may need endorsements or separate policies. Tell us how the home is used so we place the right form.

Can I schedule jewelry and art?

Yes… scheduling increases limits and may remove certain sublimits or deductibles for listed items.
