What does a Homeowner’s Insurance Policy Typically Cover?
A standard homeowner’s insurance policy will typically cover damages caused by fire, hail, lightning, windstorm, theft, and vandalism.
Other hazards, such as floods and earthquakes, are typically not covered by standard homeowner’s policies, however, there are additional coverage options available.
The types of coverage common policies provide are:
- Dwelling Coverage: Dwelling means the entire structure of your home. It protects the structure, built-in appliances, and wall-to-wall carpet from damage.
- Other Structure Coverage: This applies to structures that are on your property but not attached to your dwelling (home), such as shed, garage, guest home.
- Personal Property Coverage: This protects personal belongings in your home such as furniture or electronics.
- Liability Coverage: This pertains to damage costs associated with bodily injuries by guests on your property. It also covers other expenses that arise from this situation such as medical bills, loss of income, pain and suffering and more.
- Loss of Use Coverage: This covers you in the event that you need to temporarily move out of your home. It will cover additional housing and living expenses that you incur.

A friend of mine refered me to these guys for an event I was planning here in San Diego. Yes they are in San Francisco and I am in San Diego. I can not begin to tell you how easy this was. I dont understand insurance and I dont want to understand insurance. They helped me feel at ease from start to finish. Fast easy affordable. I never thought that existed when dealing with insurance before now. Great job and thanks for the help!
