Whether you’re shopping for a home insurance policy for a new home or just a more competitive rate in Massachusetts, Connecticut, or New Jersey, the agents at Encharter Insurance can help. We work with over thirty different carriers to find you the best coverage. While most states do not require a policy, those who have a mortgage will be required to obtain one.

Coverage for home insurance typically includes:


Structure

The structure of your home, including any attached decks, porches, breezeways, garages, carports, etc. and detached structures, such as sheds, gazebos, detached garages, pool houses, etc., are also covered under a separate limit (usually 10% of the limit for your home).

Replacement Costs

A standard policy covers your home and belongings for their actual cash value at the time of the loss. This would take into account depreciation. You can upgrade the coverage on your home and personal property to be covered for replacement cost, the amount it would cost to replace the item with a new one of the same like, kind and quality.

Personal Property

Personal possessions, up to a set limit, covers all personal items including all furniture, electronics, clothing, etc.  For instance, if you needed extra coverage on your Fine Arts Collection.

Additional Living Expenses

This pays the additional costs of living away from home due to damage from a fire, storm, flood, or other insured disaster. It covers hotel bills, restaurant meals and other expenses, over and above your customary living expenses, incurred while your home is being rebuilt.

Liability

Liability covers you against lawsuits for bodily injury or property damage that you or family members cause to other people. It pays for both the cost of defending you in court and any court awards—up to the limit of your policy.  If you want to add extra coverage in case of excessive liability, look into purchasing Umbrella Insurance. 

In addition to the above, many homeowners consider the following added-value coverage as well:


Guaranteed Building Replacement Coverage

 If your home is destroyed by a covered peril, the company will pay to repair or rebuild your home as it was before the loss using materials of like kind and quality even if the cost exceeds your building coverage limit. With this coverage, replacement of your home is GUARANTEED, period.

Personal Property Replacement Cost

You can upgrade the coverage on your home and personal property to be covered for replacement cost, the amount it would cost to replace the item with a new one of the same like, kind and quality.

Ordinance or Law Coverage

Up to the coverage limit for covered losses, the company will pay increased costs associated with the construction, repair or demolition of the covered property in order to comply with any ordinance or law.

Personal Injury Protection

Personal injury costs including lawsuits involving invasion of privacy, wrongful eviction or wrongful entry.

Identity Fraud Expense Coverage

Water Back-up and Sump Pump Overflow
