What Our Home Policies Can Cover

Core protections designed to help protect your home, belongings, family, and finances.

Dwelling Protection

Covers your home's physical structure and things built into it, such as an attached garage, deck, cabinets, and flooring. We help estimate replacement cost using Verisk 360Value.

Other Structures

Covers qualifying structures not directly attached to your home, such as sheds or detached garages.

Personal Property Protection

Covers qualifying belongings if they're stolen or damaged by a covered incident, subject to policy terms.

Family Liability Protection

Helps protect you when you're responsible for someone else's injuries or damage to their property.

Guest Medical Protection

Helps pay qualifying medical expenses when someone is injured at your home, subject to policy terms.

Additional Living Expenses

Helps pay increased living costs if a covered event makes your home temporarily uninhabitable.

Where We Go Further

Additional protection options that can make a meaningful difference when you need to use your policy.

Roof Coverage

Full Roof Replacement Coverage Regardless of Roof Age

Our available home policies can provide full replacement coverage for qualifying roofs regardless of age. Many competitor policies instead use depreciated actual cash value coverage, which can pay less as a roof ages. Coverage terms and eligibility vary by policy and property.

Water, Sewer & Electric Line Coverage

We can cover qualifying water, sewer, and electric service lines leading to your home. If a covered line ruptures, leaks, or breaks and the repair is your responsibility, this coverage can help with the cost.

Buying a Home? We Make Closing Simple

We're loan closing specialists — here's what that means for you.

We Work Directly With Your Lender

As loan closing specialists, we coordinate directly with your lender to help make sure your closing goes smoothly, without surprises on the insurance side.

Understanding Escrow

Most home insurance today is escrowed. We send an invoice to your lender that you'll pay at closing along with your other closing costs. From there, your lender escrows a little each month to cover next year's premium.

If an Inspection Turns Up Issues

Inspectors commonly flag things like trees touching the roof, chipped paint, or damaged soffits, fascia boards, or siding. If issues are identified, we work with you to give you time to make qualifying repairs while helping keep your closing on track, subject to policy terms and underwriting requirements.

Be Ready to Bundle

Bundling home and auto insurance can save you more than 30% in many cases. Beyond the savings, a lower insurance payment can improve your debt-to-income ratio, which can be important when qualifying for a home loan.
