Building or remodeling? Explore our Builders Risk insurance guide before work begins.
Building or renovating?
Builders risk is property insurance for eligible construction projects. Review what is insured, who is covered, and when coverage begins and ends before work starts.
Renting out your property?
Owner-occupied, long-term rental, short-term rental, and vacant properties need different insurance reviews. Tell us how the home is actually used before choosing a policy.
Ask about the dwelling, landlord liability, and any rental-income protection. A landlord’s building policy does not replace a tenant’s renters insurance.
Other types of homes
Your property’s construction, ownership, and use affect the coverage to review. A condo unit, manufactured home, or home needing separate flood coverage calls for different questions.

What does homeowners insurance cover?
A homeowners policy combines several kinds of protection. Compare the limits and conditions for each part, not just the annual premium.
We quote about 95% of the home and auto market in one pass and compare roof terms, deductibles, and exclusions, not just price.
Dwelling and detached structures: review the estimated cost to rebuild the home and protection for detached structures.
Personal property: compare settlement terms and special limits for valuable belongings.
Additional living expenses: check when a covered loss triggers payment and the applicable time and dollar limits.
Personal liability and medical payments: review these separate coverages and relevant exclusions.
Compare deductibles and roof settlement terms
Ask for the deductible in dollars. A 2% wind and hail deductible on a $300,000 insured dwelling limit equals $6,000; the percentage is applied to the insured value, not the size of the claim.
Ask whether the roof is settled at replacement cost, actual cash value, or under a roof schedule. Check depreciation, repair requirements, exclusions, and any cosmetic-damage limitation. An impact-resistant roof does not guarantee a discount; confirm eligibility and documentation with the insurer.

Homeowners insurance questions
Should I insure the home for its market value?
No. Insure it for the cost to rebuild, which is usually different from the sale price or the mortgage balance. Review the cost to rebuild, which is different from the sale price or mortgage balance. Give the agency accurate square footage, construction details, and updates so the rebuilding estimate reflects the home.
Does homeowners insurance cover flood damage?
Standard homeowners policies do not cover flooding. Flood insurance is a separate coverage decision. Other water damage also depends on its cause and policy terms; water backup is not the same as flood. Explore flood insurance.
Do I need builders risk for a new home or remodel?
Usually yes for new construction and for any remodel that opens the structure, because a standard homeowners policy is written for a finished, occupied house. Review construction insurance before the project starts. New construction and major renovations may need different coverage from a completed, occupied home. For a remodel, confirm whether the existing building and improvements are both insured. Read our Builders Risk guide and renovation checklist.
Will bundling home and auto always save money?
No. Bundling often lowers the combined price, but not always, and the discount can hide a weaker home policy. Compare available bundled and separate policies using the combined price, limits, deductibles, and exclusions. A discount label alone does not establish the best overall option. Review auto coverage alongside your home quote.
How can I start a homeowners quote by email?
Email your current homeowners insurance declarations pages to greg@gregagency.com. Include your preferred contact information and renewal date or desired start date. We will review your current coverage and follow up for property details and any changes needed to compare quotes. Buying a home or starting a new policy? Send the property address and a brief note so we can help you get started.
When should I review my policy?
Request a review before renewal, major renovations, a change in occupancy, or a significant change in your property or belongings. Confirm replacement coverage before canceling an existing policy.
