Who it's for

Who Homeowners insurance is for

  • First-time homebuyers
  • Families who have owned their home for years
  • Owners of older homes
  • Homeowners with a mortgage (lenders usually require coverage)

What it can cover

Common Homeowners coverages

  • Dwelling: may help repair or rebuild your home after a covered loss, up to your limit.
  • Other structures: may help with detached structures such as a garage or shed.
  • Personal property: may help replace belongings damaged or stolen in a covered loss.
  • Personal liability: may help if someone is injured on your property or you damage someone else's property.
  • Additional living expenses: may help with extra costs if a covered loss makes your home unlivable for a while.

Coverage depends on your policy's terms, limits and deductibles.

Homeowners insurance questions

Questions and answers

Have a question about your own policy? A local agent can walk through it with you.

Should my dwelling limit match what I paid for my home?

Not necessarily. It should reflect what it would cost to rebuild, which may be different from the purchase price or market value. Read: What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover in Ohio?

Is flooding covered?

Flooding is commonly excluded from homeowners policies and may need separate coverage. Talk with us about what your policy does and doesn't cover.

When should I review my homeowners policy?

After a renovation or addition, a big purchase, or a change in construction costs in your area.
