Homeowners insurance helps you pay for the repair and replacement of parts of your home, including your belongings after they’re damaged by fire, theft, and other accidents. It can also help you pay for damage done to another person’s property or to visitors if they’re injured at your home. Most brokers provide the option to purchase additional coverage if you feel you need more insurance. For example, not all natural disasters are covered, and if you live in an earthquake or flood-prone area, you may want more homeowners insurance coverage.

What Homeowners Insurance Covers

If you’re wondering what homeowners insurance covers, the following is a list of situations that you may encounter as a homeowner that will be covered.

Dwelling Protection

The most basic form of coverage in home insurance is dwelling protection, which helps pay for damage done to the structure of the home and anything directly attached to it, such as a garage or deck. Damage can be a result of fire, smoke, lightning strikes, windstorms, hail, vandalism, theft, falling objects, and water damage, among other dangers that can happen at any time. If your home or other property is damaged by one of these events, your insurance company will help you pay to repair or replace them.

This can save you a significant amount of money if your home is seriously damaged in a storm, allowing you to spend it on other necessities instead of unexpected damage like this. Note that certain coverage, such as earthquake and flood insurance, is not always covered in your standard policy and must instead be purchased separately.

Protection For Other Structures

Other structures that are not attached to your house are also protected by a standard homeowners insurance policy. These can include tool sheds, detached garages, and even fences, which can be flattened by storms or knocked over by unaware motorists. Under this provision of homeowners insurance policies, nearly anything on your land is protected in the same way as your house itself. While necessary repairs to one of these structures can be smaller due to their size, most homeowners still appreciate the help they receive from insurance when unplanned repairs need to be made to unattached structures.

Personal Property Protection

In addition to physical structures on the land, most homeowners insurance policies also cover the personal belongings in your home. If your electronics are stolen or your furniture is damaged by a fire, your insurance policy can help you replace them quickly. Optional coverage may be available for particularly expensive items, such as jewelry, art, antique furniture, and other pieces that exceed your allotted homeowners insurance coverage.

Speak with a personal insurance agent if you’re unsure of which personal items are included with your standard policy and whether you should consider increasing your coverage limit for particularly valuable items.

Liability Protection

Standard homeowners insurance policies provide liability coverage when a visitor is injured while on your property. This can include falling down the stairs, tripping over a sprinkler, and other accidents sustained onsite. Injury liability coverage can help you pay for the visitor’s medical bills, if necessary, and for any legal fees incurred if they choose to sue.

Liability protection can be augmented by a personal umbrella policy, which increases the amount of financial support you’ll receive if you need to file a liability claim for a, particularly expensive injury or lawsuit. Extra coverage is likely not necessary for most homeowners, so speak to your insurance agent for more information about umbrella insurance policies and when they might be appropriate.

Homeowners Insurance Coverage Limits & Deductibles

Each homeowners insurance policy has its limits in terms of the maximum amount paid towards a covered loss. This coverage can sometimes be extended with additional policies attached to your standard homeowners insurance policy. It may also increase based on the value of your home and belongings and how much it would cost to repair or replace them. Insurance benefits will only begin after you’ve paid your deductible, so carefully read your insurance policy or contact your agent to discuss your limits and needs.

Amazing personalize service. They were able to consolidate all of my insurance needs and save me a lot of money, while also upgrading my coverage and making sure all of my needs were met even in potential unforeseen circumstances. Would highly recommend, and I have not been so pleased with an insurance agency in many many years.

I have been a client (auto, home, and umbrella) for several years. The entire team at the agency is excellent. Francesca is always prompt in getting back to me, and the claims group is great. I also purchased a life insurance policy through them as well.

I'm so pleased with the service at JMG Agency. They shopped and saved me money on my policy even when I didn't request it. I needed insurance in another state where they are not licensed to sell but they went the extra mile and found an agency to rewrite my policy saving me almost 50%. I have complete trust in my agent Francesca and her assistant Crystal. I highly recommend this agency.Bill Schrade
