Home insurance is a package policy, which means that it covers damage to your property after a covered loss and your liability or legal responsibility for any injuries and property damage you or members of your family cause to other people. There are usually additional coverages or endorsements, also called riders, that you can add to the standard coverages provided by home insurance to ensure adequate protection.
Homeowners insurance gives you financial protection for your belongings, your home, and personal liability. If a covered event causes damage or injury, it helps cover the related costs. A standard homeowners policy does not cover flood damage, earthquakes, normal wear and tear, or issues caused by poor maintenance. You can add extra coverage to protect against these risks.
Dwelling Coverage
Dwelling coverage helps in protecting the structure of your home, including the roof, walls, floor, and built-in features. When a covered event damages your home, this insurance helps pay to fix or rebuild your house. Choose a coverage limit that matches today’s construction cost.Â
Other Structures Coverage
This coverage protects buildings on your property that are separated from your house, such as:Â
If a covered loss damages these structures, your policy covers the cost to fix or replace them.Â
Personal Property Coverage
Personal property coverage protects your belongings inside your home, such as:
If a covered event damages or steals these items, your insurance helps pay to repair or reimburse you based on your policy limits and after your deductible.Â
Loss of Use Coverage (Additional Living Expenses – ALE)
If a covered event makes your home unsafe to live in, this coverage helps pay for temporary housing and the cost of living elsewhere. Your policy can help cover hotel bills, temporary rentals, and food expenses while your home is being repaired.Â
Liability and Medical Payment Coverage
This coverage protects you if someone gets hurt on your property or if you accidentally cause damage to someone else’s belongings. It pays for legal defense costs, settlements, and medical expenses.
Medical payments coverage pays for small medical bills for guests, regardless of who caused the injury.
You can customize your homeowners insurance to strengthen your coverage based on your property and location. Our licensed agents work with homeowners in Indianapolis and Sacramento to choose coverage that fits their specific needs.Â
Home insurance is available in several forms, known as HO policies. Each form covers a specific level of protection depending on the property and ownership. When you understand these options, you can pick the coverage that’s right for your home.
Policy Type | What It Covers |
HO-3 (Special Form) | This is the most common choice for homeowners. It covers your home from all the risks unless the policy excludes them. It also covers your personal belongings against certain listed risks. |
HO-5 (Comprehensive Form) | This policy gives wider coverage for both your house and personal belongings. It protects against most risks, except those listed as exclusions. |
HO-2 (Broad Form) | This policy protects your home and personal items from certain listed risks in the policy. |
HO-4 (Renters Insurance) | This policy covers your belongings, pays for liability claims, and helps with expenses as a renter. It does not insure the building structure. |
HO-6 (Condo Insurance) | This policy protects your unit’s interior, belongings, and personal liability. |
HO-7 (Mobile Home Insurance) | This policy protects your manufactured or mobile home and the belongings inside it. |
HO-8 (Modified Coverage) | This policy is often chosen for older homes. It may pay claims based on actual cash value instead of the full replacement cost. |
You may lower your homeowners and auto insurance premiums with one provider by bundling with the same company. Many insurance companies give discounts when you combine both policies. It can also make it simpler to manage your coverage.
Homes with a new roof can help you save on homeowners insurance rates. It reduces the risk of leaks, storms, and weather damage, so some insurance companies offer a new roof discount.
Newly built homes usually have lower insurance costs because they follow modern building rules and use strong materials. These features reduce potential damage and make homeowners insurance more affordable.
Homeowners who avoid filing claims for a few years may receive lower insurance rates. A claim-free history shows insurers that the home has a low risk. This may help qualify for a claim-free discount.
While purchasing a home insurance policy may not be mandated by the federal, state or local government, your lender may require proof of home insurance if you have a mortgage. Carrying appropriate homeowners insurance is always a good idea, as having insurance for the house can help financially protect you if you experience a covered accident or other loss. Without home insurance, you may be left to cover the replacement or repair costs on your own.

Report the damage to your insurance company as soon as possible after it happens and file a claim. You can file a claim by phone, through your insurance agent, or through the website. Share the main details of the incident and when the damage occurred.
Make sure you capture the damage in photos or videos before you start the repair work. Note down all the damaged items and keep the receipts for any temporary things you buy or services you use. With this information, the insurer can understand your claim more easily.
Take reasonable steps to protect your home from additional damage after the incident. You can cover broken windows, fix leaks, or move your belongings to a safer location. Your policy may cover these temporary expenses.
The insurance company might send a claims adjuster to inspect the damage. The adjuster looks at the damage and calculates the damage cost using your coverage and deductible.
Once the insurance claim is approved, you can start the repair or rebuild work on your home. The insurance company may pay you or the contractor who does the repairs, depending on your policy.

Exceed Insurance’s homeowner’s coverage is available for everyone, no matter where you are in the United States.
Homeowners insurance is a financial safety net that protects your home and belongings from unexpected events like fire, theft, and weather damage.
Even a minor incident can cause significant financial strain. Homeowners insurance helps cover repairs, replacements, and even temporary housing if your home becomes uninhabitable.
You can choose from different homeowners insurance policies depending on your property type and coverage needs.
The cost depends on several factors, like your home’s location, value, rebuild cost, and chosen coverage. We’ll help you find an affordable plan that fits your budget.
Standard policies typically cover damage caused by fire, theft, and some weather events. For flood or earthquake coverage, additional policies might be needed.
Installing security systems, maintaining your home, and increasing your deductible can potentially lower your premium. We can discuss these options with you.
Our dedicated team will guide you through the process, working diligently to get your claim settled quickly and fairly.
Roof age can impact your homeowners insurance policy. Older roofs are more likely to get damaged or develop leaks, so insurance companies may ask you to inspect, repair, or replace the roof before they issue or renew your policy. Keeping your roof in good condition can help protect your home and support your insurance coverage.
Homeowners insurance usually does not include water backup or sump pump failure. However, many insurance companies allow you to add water backup coverage. This coverage helps pay for repair costs if water backs up through drains or if a sump pump failure causes damage to your belongings.
In California, homeowners often face risks like wildfires and local building requirements. Insurers may review your property location, construction materials, and safety features when deciding coverage and pricing. Reviewing these factors with an insurance agent can help you select the right protection.Â
