In exchange for your premium (the price of your policy), your insurance provider pays for certain damages, sparing you from a large bill when disaster strikes.
Let’s see how home insurance works in more detail. If you have a condo, skip over here to learn about our condo insurance.
Your Home Insurance Policy at a Glance
These are the types of protection a typical home insurance policy offers. Click the icons below to learn what each part of your policy covers (and excludes) in more detail.
The dwelling coverage, personal property coverage, and other structures coverage in your homeowners policy can typically cover damage to your home, belongings, and garage / shed / driveway caused by:
Water damage from burst pipes and appliance flooding
When one of these events damages your home, property, or insured structured, your homeowners policy from Kin can pay for their replacement cost. Replacement cost coverage offers the amount it costs to repair your home or replace belongings with the same or similar quality materials or items. This kind of payout gives you greater flexibility when getting your life back in order following a disaster.
What Home Insurance Doesn't Cover
Homeowners insurance policies typically don’t cover damage or loss caused by:
Earthquakes
Flooding
General wear and tear
Negligence (or lack of regular and proper maintenance)
Business liability
To get coverage for flood damage to your home caused by storm surges, you’ll need flood insurance.
