What Homeowners Insurance Covers
Homeowners insurance protects your home, the things inside it, and your finances if something goes wrong. A standard policy includes six kinds of protection:
Dwelling CoveragePays to repair or rebuild your home, including the roof, walls, floors, and attached structures like a deck or garage, after a covered loss.
Other StructuresCovers structures on your property that are not attached to the house, like a fence, shed, or detached garage.
Personal PropertyHelps replace your furniture, clothes, electronics, and other belongings if they are damaged in a covered claim or stolen.
Loss of UsePays for a hotel or short-term rental, food, and other extra costs if a covered loss makes your home unlivable while it is repaired.
Personal LiabilityHelps with legal and medical costs if you are responsible for injuring someone or damaging their property, on your property or away from it.
Medical PaymentsPays medical bills, up to your policy limit, for a guest who is hurt on your property, no matter who is at fault.
You will also pick a deductible, the amount you pay out of pocket before your coverage kicks in. Your agent can walk you through optional add-ons like extended replacement cost or equipment breakdown coverage in plain language.
What Homeowners Insurance Does Not Cover
Knowing the limits keeps you from being surprised later. A standard homeowners policy usually does not cover:
- ✕ Flooding from rising water, like an overflowing river. That needs a separate flood policy.
- ✕ Earthquake damage. That usually needs separate coverage too.
- ✕ Normal wear and tear or maintenance issues, like an aging roof or slow leaks.
- ✕ A business you run from home. That usually needs its own coverage.
Not sure what your home needs? An A-MAX agent will walk you through it in plain language, with zero pressure.
Who Needs Homeowners Insurance?
If you own a house, condo, or mobile home, homeowners insurance is for you. If you have a mortgage, your lender will require coverage that protects the property. And even with the mortgage paid off, your home is likely your biggest investment, and one storm, fire, or accident should not be able to undo years of work. Wherever you are starting from, we meet you there. No judgment, ever.
