Homeowners Insurance

For many people, their homes are their most treasured possessions. Ensuring your home and belongings are protected can give you peace of mind—and a financial safeguard—if something unfortunate happens. However, knowing how much coverage you need and ensuring you have all the necessary protections can be complicated. 1st American Insurance Agency can help you with insurance for these critical assets.  

What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover? 

Homeowners insurance is referred to as a package policy since it provides a layer of property and liability coverage. While every policy is different, the typical home insurance policy offers the following:  

• Property structure coverage may help pay to repair or rebuild your home if it’s damaged or destroyed by a covered disaster. 
• Personal belongings coverage may pay for repairing or replacing furniture, clothing, sports equipment and other personal items stolen or destroyed by a covered disaster. There are usually policy limits, but we can help you with any additional personal property endorsement or floater you may need for expensive items to ensure they have sufficient coverage.
• Liability protection may pay the costs of medical bills and lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage that you, your family or your pet causes. Your policy may also pay court costs and awards up to your limit. 
• Additional living expenses protection may help pay your living expenses if you must live elsewhere because of a covered disaster. This coverage may include hotel bills, restaurant meals and other living expenses up to your policy’s limit.  

Depending on your specific situation, you may need to secure additional coverages or purchase endorsements to your standard home insurance policy. 1st American Insurance Agency is here to help you navigate your home insurance needs.  

How Much Homeowners Insurance Do I Need?

Standard homeowners insurance offers protection from damage to your home’s structure, including fixtures, plumbing and heating. You may need more coverage if you have luxury belongings or high-risk items. We can work with you to determine a suitable amount of insurance for your home and belongings.
