Homeowners Insurance Covers More Than The Home

If you own a home, you have homeowners insurance to cover the home and the property inside.

However, there are additional benefits you will find when you purchase the right homeowners policy for your home.

Replacement Costs

Adding this kind of coverage to your homeowners policy, you can have the added benefit of being able to replace your damaged property with new items.

If you don’t have this additional coverage, the settlement you receive for the damaged property may depreciate, and you will not have enough to replace everything that was damaged.

Identity Theft Coverage

Not many people know that some homeowners insurance policies can include some level of identity theft protection.

With this coverage, you will have coverage for expenses incurred while you work to get your identity back and clear your credit.

Fund Advances

If you have experienced a substantial loss, then sometimes the insurer can offer the homeowner an advance on their future repair expenses to make the required deposits to contractors and vendors who will be doing the work to repair damage to the home.

Claims

Many insurance companies also have people available to help walk homeowners through the claims process from start to finish and answer any questions or concerns they may have.

They can help lead you to a better understanding of the process and even work with contractors to help get your property repaired as soon as possible.

Construction Costs

When the home is damaged and new building codes require different construction, your policy may not always cover it.

Most insurance policies are designed to cover replacements and repairs on like kind and quality.

So, if building codes require something different, you may need to make sure you have additional coverage to offset the difference between what you currently have and what you are going to need.

Fence Coverage

Most homeowners insurance policies also cover fences, sheds, and even landscaping done on the property.

However, you need to review your policy carefully when it comes to the property’s coverage because this type of coverage often has specific limits and conditions in place.

Medical Expenses

If you have guests injured on your property, most homeowners insurance policies have premises medial in the policy.

This covers injured guests and provides them access to insurance without having to take the matter to court.

Higher Liability Limits

Suppose you feel that you will need to have much higher liability limits on your homeowners insurance policy.

In that case, you can discuss this with the insurance company and see if they can offer you a higher limit. Some will go as high as a million dollars.

If you have a second home or other significant assets like a boat, you may also want to consider higher limits to protect all of these additional assets.
