Homeowners Insurance

Comprehensive Protection for Your Biggest Investment

Your home is more than just a building; it's where memories are made and your family feels secure. LeClercq Insurance Services offers comprehensive homeowners insurance policies designed to protect your property, possessions, and financial well-being from unexpected events.

A Guide to Common Homeowners Coverages

A standard homeowners policy is a package that combines several distinct types of coverage. While every policy is different, here are the key areas a typical policy may cover:

• Dwelling Coverage: Protects the physical structure of your house (like the roof and walls) against damage from a covered peril, such as fire, windstorms, or hail.
• Other Structures: Covers structures on your property that are not attached to your house, like a detached garage, shed, or fence, if they are damaged by a covered peril.
• Personal Property: Covers your personal belongings (like furniture, electronics, and clothing) if they are damaged or stolen due to a covered event.
• Loss of Use (Additional Living Expenses): Helps pay for additional living expenses, such as hotel bills and meals, if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss while it's being repaired.
• Personal Liability: Protects you financially if a guest is injured on your property or if you accidentally cause damage to someone else's property.
• Medical Payments to Others: Covers minor medical expenses for a guest injured on your property, generally regardless of who was at fault.

Customizing Your Policy & Understanding Exclusions

It's just as important to understand what standard policies **exclude**. Coverage for events like **floods** and **earthquakes** must almost always be purchased as separate policies. Other common exclusions include damage from general wear and tear, maintenance issues, or sewer backups.

We can help you explore additional coverage options (endorsements) to customize your policy for your unique needs, such as:

• Scheduled Personal Property (for high-value items like jewelry or art)
• Water Backup and Sump Pump Overflow
• Identity Theft Protection

We'll also discuss important factors like choosing the right deductible and understanding the difference between Replacement Cost Value (RCV) and Actual Cash Value (ACV) for your property.
