Remember, cost isn’t the only deciding factor when shopping for a new policy. Make sure you’re not trading lower prices for less coverage. As much as 64 percent of homes are underinsured by 27 percent, and that difference can leave you high and dry when it’s time to file a claim.

You can also customize your policy with endorsements. Think of these as mini insurance policies that make your coverage fit like a glove. These can raise your limits or add on specialty coverage (like flood
insurance or mold coverage).

In August 2020, over 20,000 acres burned in an uncontained wildfire. More than 7,800 people were forced to evacuate. It’s a stark reminder that Riverside residents face real wildfire risk and could be forced to evacuate on a moment’s notice.
If you live in or near wildfire zones, you already know how difficult it can be to get homeowners insurance that covers you for wildfires. Good news: we cover Riverside homeowners and all our policies include wildfire insurance.
Riverside’s hills and low lying flatlands make for perfect flood conditions during a downpour. Unfortunately, homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flood damage from rising waters around and into the home.
But you can easily add flood insurance to your policy for this essential protection. Just ask us about it!
California, home to the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults, is no stranger to earthquakes. As recent as August 11, 2020, Southern California experienced a swarm of earthquakes with experts predicting an 18 percent chance of a 4.5 to 5.4 magnitude shaker.
While earthquake insurance isn’t included in your policy automatically, you can easily add it on. This is the only coverage that can pay for damage to your home, other structures, and belongings caused by shaking earth movement.

You can also adjust your deductible to keep your rates in check. Remember, your deductible is the amount you’re responsible for covering out of pocket when you file a claim.
