Home Insurance

Home insurance protects your home and belongings against damage, theft, and liability claims. When you purchase a policy, your insurer assesses your home’s value, location, and risk factors to determine coverage and rates. If you experience a covered loss, such as a fire, storm damage, or theft, you can file a claim. Your insurance company will evaluate the damage and either pay for repairs or compensate you based on your policy limits. Keep in mind that standard home insurance does not cover flood damage, so a separate flood insurance policy may be necessary if you live in a high-risk area.

A standard homeowners insurance policy includes:

• Dwelling coverage – Pays for repairs or rebuilding after damage from fire, wind, hail, or vandalism.
• Personal property coverage – Protects your belongings, including furniture, electronics, and clothing.
• Liability protection – Covers legal fees and medical costs if someone is injured on your property.
• Additional living expenses (ALE) – Helps with temporary housing if your home is uninhabitable due to a covered loss.

Coverage varies by policy, so we help you customize a plan that fits your needs.

While home insurance is not legally required in Kentucky, most mortgage lenders require it as a condition of your loan. Even if your home is fully paid off, having insurance protects your investment and safeguards your finances from unexpected losses.

The amount of coverage depends on factors like your home’s value, belongings, and risk exposure. A good rule of thumb is to have enough dwelling coverage to rebuild your home completely if it’s destroyed. You should also ensure your personal property and liability limits are high enough to protect against potential losses and legal claims. We can help assess your needs and find the right level of protection.
