Questions answered
Frequently asked questions
What does home insurance cover?
A homeowners policy commonly organizes protection around the dwelling, other structures, personal property, loss of use or additional living expenses, personal liability, and medical payments to others. Exact coverage depends on the policy, limits, deductibles, endorsements, and exclusions.
How much dwelling coverage should I consider?
Dwelling coverage should be reviewed around the estimated cost to rebuild the home with current labor and materials, not simply the purchase price or market value. Renovations, additions, roof age, construction type, and local rebuilding costs can change the amount to review.
What is the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value?
Replacement cost generally looks at the cost to repair or replace covered property with similar materials without subtracting depreciation. Actual cash value generally subtracts depreciation for age and wear, so the claim payment may be lower.
Are flood and earthquake covered by a standard homeowners policy?
Usually no. Standard homeowners policies commonly exclude flood and earthquake damage. California homeowners often review separate flood insurance, earthquake coverage, or endorsements depending on the property and carrier options.
What is the California FAIR Plan?
The FAIR Plan is California's insurer of last resort for homeowners who cannot find coverage in the traditional market after shopping. It is more limited than a standard homeowners policy, so many families also ask about a DIC policy to fill certain gaps such as liability or theft.
What information should I have ready for a home quote?
Have the address, year built, square footage, roof type and age, construction details, safety updates, mortgage or lender requirements, current declarations page if available, and questions about belongings, valuable items, deductibles, or separate flood and earthquake coverage.
Can I bundle auto and home?
Sometimes. We can review whether package options or discounts are available.
