Homeowners Insurance FAQs
COMMON QUESTIONS
A standard homeowners policy generally provides coverage for your dwelling, other structures, personal belongings, personal liability, and additional living expenses following certain covered losses. The specific coverage depends on your policy form, limits, deductibles, and exclusions.Â
Hurricane deductibles are generally calculated as a percentage of your home's insured dwelling value, rather than the amount of the claim. For example, a 2% hurricane deductible on a home insured for $400,000 would be $8,000. The applicable deductible and circumstances in which it applies depend on your policy.Â
Standard homeowners insurance policies generally exclude flooding caused by rising water, storm surge, or surface water. Separate flood insurance may be available through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or private insurance carriers.Â
Depending on your property and insurance carrier, you may qualify for savings through wind mitigation features, eligible home improvements, deductible adjustments, or available discounts. Comparing carriers can also help identify options, but changes should be reviewed for their effect on coverage and out-of-pocket costs.Â
A wind mitigation inspection isn't required for every homeowners policy, but it can document features such as roof construction, roof-to-wall connections, and opening protection that may qualify for premium credits. Your insurance carrier and property's characteristics will determine whether an inspection is useful or required.Â
