Getting the Limit Right

Market value and rebuild cost are not the same number.

Your dwelling limit should cover what it would cost to rebuild your home from the ground up with today’s labor and materials. That figure can be higher or lower than what the house would sell for, and it changes as construction costs move.

If the limit is too low, a total loss can leave you paying the difference. We review replacement cost at every renewal and check that your policy pays replacement cost, not actual cash value, on both the house and your belongings.

  • Replacement cost on the dwelling and contents
  • Wind and hail deductibles explained up front
  • Bundle discounts with your auto checked

What a standard policy does not cover

  • Flood, including from heavy rain and rising creeks
  • Earth movement
  • Sewer or drain backup, unless endorsed
  • Wear, tear and maintenance issues

Flood needs a separate policy. Ask us whether your property is in or near a flood zone.

Common Questions

Homeowners insurance questions

Does homeowners insurance cover flooding?
No. Standard homeowners policies exclude flood. Flood coverage is a separate policy, and there is usually a waiting period before it takes effect, so don’t wait for a storm forecast.
Why does my roof’s age matter?
Many carriers price, or limit coverage, based on roof age and material. An older roof can mean higher premiums or roof claims settled at depreciated value. We compare carriers on exactly this.
How much liability coverage should I have?
Enough to protect your savings and future income. Many homeowners pair higher home liability with an umbrella policy.
Can I save by bundling home and auto?
Often, yes. We price both ways and recommend whichever gives you the right coverage for the best total cost.
