Home Insurance in Kingston, Chillicothe and Across Ohio

A homeowners policy generally covers your home, other structures like a garage or shed, your belongings, and your liability if someone is hurt or you damage someone else's property. It can also help with living costs if a covered loss makes your home unlivable. Exact coverage depends on your policy.

Start with what it would cost to rebuild your home today, not what you paid for it or what it would sell for. Then add enough for your belongings and enough liability coverage to protect your assets. We help you work through each number.

Replacement cost pays to repair or replace with similar new materials. Actual cash value subtracts depreciation, so it pays less. The difference can be large on an older roof or older belongings. Ask which one your policy uses.

Many policies cover wind and hail damage, but deductibles and roof-age rules can differ. Ask whether your policy has a separate wind or hail deductible and how roof age is treated before storm season.

Have your address, the year the home was built, square footage, roof age and any updates to the roof, wiring, plumbing or heating, plus the details of your current policy. A copy of your current declarations page helps us compare accurately.

At least once a year at renewal, and any time you remodel, add a roof, finish a basement, buy valuables or have a major life change. Renewals can bring surprises, so review before the bill arrives.
