When most people think of home insurance, they think of protecting the building itself. But a standard policy usually does more than that.
Here’s what could be included:
🔹 Dwelling Coverage – Repairs or rebuilds your home if it's damaged by a covered peril (like fire or wind).
🔹 Other Structures – Covers things like fences, sheds, and detached garages.
🔹 Personal Property – Helps replace stolen or damaged belongings, from furniture to electronics—even items stored off-site in some cases!
🔹 Loss of Use – Pays for additional living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event. Think hotel stays, meals, and more.
🔹 Liability Protection – Covers legal expenses if someone gets hurt on your property or if you accidentally cause damage to someone else’s property.
🛑 Pro Tip: Not all policies are the same. Limits, exclusions, and deductibles matter so it’s smart to understand what your policy actually includes.
