What is Homeowners insurance?
Homeowner's insurance protects one of life's biggest investments. Should a tree fall through your roof or a fire break out in the kitchen, insurance for your home helps cover the cost to repair or rebuild. It may also cover other buildings on your property like a garden gazebo or storage shed.
Why do you need homeowners insurance?
It is really all about protecting yourself financially if something unexpected happens to your home or possessions. That's important because chances are your home is likely one of your largest investments.
- If your home was destroyed by fire or damaged by a natural disaster, you'd need money to repair or replace it.
- If a guest in your home is injured, liability protection and medical coverage help pay expenses.
- If you are a victim of theft and vandalism, it can reimburse you for your loss or pay for repairs.
- If you are still paying for your home, your lender will require insurance.
It is important to know that homeowners insurance is meant to cover unexpected damage, not routine maintenance. Talk to the experts at Pearson & Company Insurance about what is covered and be sure to read your policy so you know exactly what's included and what is not.
Things to consider when purchasing homeowner's insurance. Here are few things to discuss with your agent that will influence your decisions.
