What Does A Standard Homeowners Insurance Cover? 

A standard homeowners insurance policy can be expected to cover your home and belongings. Most homeowner insurance policies include coverages that can help pay to repair or replace your home and all contents. Coverage will include:

• Your main structure and attached structures, such as garages
• Any additional costs (such as hotels, food, etc.) incurred if your home is uninhabitable.  
• Your detached structures - also known as “other structures coverage” - such as detached garages, fences, and sheds
• Your personal property, such as appliances, furniture, and clothing
• NOTE: landscaping is often included, with reimbursement for a portion or all of the value of the loss

Should I Purchase Additional Coverage Homeowners Insurance For My North Nashville Home?

Your coverage limit is the maximum your policy will reimburse you after a covered loss. You can set your coverage limits based on factors such as your home’s value and the value of your belongings. 

If you think you may need more coverage to replace some of your more expensive or precious belongings, you may want to consider purchasing additional coverage to help protect such items as:  

• Antiques - furniture, dishes, pictures, books
• Collectibles - comic books, music albums, musical instruments, stamps, figurines
• Technology - computers, gaming consoles, televisions, tablets, phones
• Art - paintings, statues, sculptures, ceramics
