Quick Answer
What should homeowners review before choosing a home insurance policy?
Before choosing a home insurance policy, review more than the monthly premium. Review dwelling replacement cost, roof age and material, construction type, wind or hurricane deductibles, personal property limits, liability, loss of use, water exclusions, flood gaps, lender rules, and claim history.
Roof
Age, material, wind mitigation, inspections, and storm-related deductibles.
Flood Gap
Standard homeowners insurance usually does not cover flood, so separate flood protection may need to be reviewed.
Liability
Personal liability limits and whether umbrella coverage should be considered.

Common questions
Home Insurance FAQs
Does homeowners insurance cover flood damage? +
Standard homeowners insurance usually does not cover flood damage from rising water, storm surge, or broad surface water. Homeowners normally review a separate flood policy or available flood endorsement.
Is homeowners insurance required by law? +
Home insurance is generally not required by state law, but mortgage lenders usually require it while you have a loan. Even without a lender, coverage can help protect the home, belongings, liability exposure, and living expenses after a covered loss.
How much dwelling coverage do I need? +
Dwelling coverage should reflect the estimated cost to rebuild the home with current labor, materials, code requirements, and property features, not only the market value or purchase price.
What information helps with a home insurance quote? +
Useful details include address, year built, square footage, roof age and material, construction type, occupancy, prior claims, mortgage information, wind mitigation reports, and current declarations pages.
What information do I need for a home insurance quote? +
Useful details include the property address, year built, roof age and material, square footage, construction type, occupancy, prior claims, mortgage information, safety features, wind mitigation reports, and current policy declarations if available.
Why do wind or hurricane deductibles matter? +
Wind or hurricane deductibles can be separate from the standard deductible and may be based on a percentage of the dwelling limit. They can change the real out-of-pocket cost after a storm claim.
When should I review homeowners insurance? +
Review coverage at renewal, after renovations, when roof or occupancy details change, when you buy valuables, when lender requirements change, or when flood or umbrella protection should be reviewed.
