Endorsed Coverage

Specific peril endorsements for your home insurance!

When it comes to protecting your home, having the right insurance coverage is essential. Homeowner’s insurance typically includes a range of coverages, including property damage and liability coverage, as well as damage caused by weather event such as wind, lightning, or hail. However, there may be certain risks or perils that are not covered under a standard policy. This is where endorsed coverage comes in. In this blog, we’ll explore what endorsed coverage is and why it’s important for homeowners, as well as some common types of endorsed coverage.

Endorsed coverage, also known as a policy endorsement, is a specific add-on to your homeowner’s insurance policy that provides coverage for certain risks or perils that are not covered under a standard policy. Endorsed coverage can help ensure that you have the right coverage in place to protect your home and personal property.

Endorsed coverage is important for homeowners because it provides additional protection for specific risks or perils that may not be covered under a standard policy. Without endorsed coverage, you may be left vulnerable to certain risks or may not have enough coverage to fully protect your home and personal property.

Common types of Endorsed Coverage:

Flood Insurance: Flood damage is not typically covered under a standard homeowners insurance policy. If you live in an area that is prone to flooding, you may need to purchase a separate flood insurance policy to ensure that you have proper coverage.

Earthquake Insurance: Like flood damage, earthquake damage is not typically covered under a standard homeowners insurance policy. If you live in an area that is prone to earthquakes, you may need to purchase a separate earthquake insurance policy to ensure that you have adequate coverage.

Personal Property Endorsements: Personal Property endorsements can provide additional coverage for high-value items, such as jewelry, artwork, or antiques. By endorsing these items to your policy, you can ensure that you have coverage in the event of loss or damage.

Home Business Endorsements: If you operate a business from your home, you may need to purchase a home business endorsement to ensure that you have coverage for a business-related risk.

We strongly encourage you to speak with your insurance agent to see what you may need depending on where you live. These endorsement coverages are not applicable everywhere. Your insurance agent will help you navigate the coverage needed and submit any documents needed for home business insurance and personal property insurance.
