Whether you’re a new homeowner or would like to change your existing policy, protect your greatest asset with quality homeowners insurance. Find out which type of homeowners insurance is right for your specific needs.

Basic homeowners insurance is designed to help protect your home and your belongings. Along with basic homeowners insurance, there are different types of homeowners insurance designed to add additional coverage, including additional living expense, expanded coverage, personal possessions, extra coverage for valuables and liability to name a few. In order to help you select the best policy for your needs, make sure you get a home insurance quote for each policy and compare plans. The following is a brief guide to the most common types of home insurance coverage.

Additional living expenses: Disaster can strike unexpectedly, leaving the home unlivable. In the event that a home is no longer livable, additional living expenses insurance makes it possible for families to relocate without having to worry about additional expenses. This type of home owner insurance covers the expenses to live elsewhere, allowing your family to continue their regular routine.

Expanded Coverage: This type of coverage offers additional benefits such as unexpected costs when rebuilding your home or replacing lost personal property.

Personal possessions: Household possessions include everything from your couch and TV to your wardrobe and major appliances such as the washing machine and refrigerator. Personal possessions insurance for home owners covers your personal belongings in the event that they are destroyed or lost. This type of coverage offers funds to repair or replace your belongings.

Extra Coverage for Valuables: While personal possessions insurance covers your belongings, extra coverage for your valuables will cover expensive items such as diamond rings, paintings or camera equipment.

Liability: In the event that someone is injured or experiences property damaged while on your property, liability insurance will defend any claims against you and pay for reasonable and necessary medical expenses.
