Roofing insurance claims can be complicated. That’s why it’s so important to have the right homeowners coverage for your roof.

Replacing a roof is one of the most expensive home projects a homeowner will encounter. According to Home Advisor, the 2020 national average a homeowner will spend on installing a new roof is more than $8,000.

While you can save up over months or years to replace an old roof, sudden damage from something like a windstorm doesn’t give you that option. Don’t wait until you need to submit a claim to understand what your policy can – and can’t – pay to replace. Keep reading for general answers to a few common questions. As always, your local Erie Insurance agent can give you more specific information (including a free quote customized just for your home).

You’ve heard the saying: “At least I have a roof over my head.” Be sure to protect that roof with the right homeowners insurance. Here’s how.

Your first insurance experience may start with a simple policy or two — car insurance, renters insurance and not much else. But as life picks up, a new job, home, relationship and children may give you more than your initial policies can handle.

You can buy insurance directly from some companies online. But choosing your own policies and limits may leave gaps in your coverage that you might not think about or recognize.

That’s why every Erie Insurance policy comes with a friendly face right in your neighborhood – a local, independent ERIE agent to help you get the coverages you need and never pay more than you should.

Need help cutting through the jargon? Personal service can make all the difference... and at ERIE, it's included with every policy.

For safety-conscious drivers, the 2021 Insurance Institute for Highway Safety TOP SAFETY PICK awards represent a wealth of choices.

Each year, the IIHS, a nonprofit research and education organization, conducts tests to determine which vehicles do the best job of protecting people in the most common kinds of crashes — front, side, rollover and rear. Vehicles must also score well in front crash prevention and headlights.

The IIHS awarded winners in 11 size categories, from small cars to large pickups. This year’s number of vehicles on the IIHS list increased by more than 50 percent over 2020, and the cars earning the premium TOP SAFETY PICK+ accolade more than doubled.

The list grows: See which makes and models earned the TOP SAFETY PICK awards this year from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
