Your Home Is Important, Make Sure It’s Protected in south Jersey.
What if disaster strikes your home tomorrow? Do you have enough coverage for damages and total loss? Would you be responsible for any repair costs?
You can't get insurance after a disaster, and disasters can happen anytime. But with the right insurance, you can worry less knowing:
- Your representative has made sure you're properly covered.
- Your insurance agency is there for you.
Why is Home Insurance so Important?
For residents along the Jersey Shore, homeowners insurance protects homeowners from a variety of common risks—from fire and theft to structural problems and accidents on your property. If you encounter a loss, you can submit a claim to your insurance carrier, and after considering any applicable deductibles, they will cover the costs.
Our insurance also provides personal liability coverage, a crucial safeguard for homeowners against potential lawsuits.
For instance, if a visitor slips and falls in your home, or gets injured on your property, you could be held liable. That's where our liability coverage steps in for your protection.
Little known facts about Homeowners Insurance
There are several aspects of home insurance that many consumers in New Jersey might not be aware of. We're here to help you steer clear of potential pitfalls, including:
- Most policies won't cover sewer backups unless you add a specific endorsement—it's not costly, but you won't have it unless you request it.
- Damages caused by surface water or water flowing beneath the ground are typically not covered.
- Standard homeowners policies usually don't include flood insurance, a significant consideration for Ocean City residents, for example.
- A standard homeowner policy has set limits for jewelry coverage if the loss is due to one of the named perils in the policy.
- Many policies default to actual cash value. For example, if you bought a widescreen TV and home theater system for $1,000, it might only be worth $450 now, which is the amount you'll get on the claim. Unlike the dwelling limit mentioned above, replacement cost insurance pays the total replacement value of your possessions, not their market value, in the event of a claim.
- IMPORTANT: You can bundle your Home and Auto policies (and others) for additional savings for residents of the state of New Jersey.
