Your home, whether it is a house or a condominium, is likely to be your single most valuable asset. That’s why home and condo insurance is essential—it provides protection in the event your home is damaged or destroyed, and protects your personal liability against unexpected lawsuits. If you are a renter, we also offer renters insurance.
Homeowners Insurance
Homeowners insurance can vary in terms of coverage, but should cover:
- the cost to repair or completely rebuild your house and attached/unattached structures on your property
- hotels and living expenses if you are unable to live at home during repairs
- your personal belongings, from clothes to furniture and appliances, although you may have to add separate umbrella coverage for jewelry, art, or other expensive items
- liability for damage or injury lawsuits
Condo Insurance
Condominium insurance is different from homeowners insurance because you don't need to protect the outside of your condo. Condo associations have master policies that cover the property, common areas and the structures on the property. However, these master policies don’t cover:
- your personal property
- customization you may have done to your unit
- injuries that happen at your place or lawsuits you may face
Condo insurance fills those gaps. Our specialists at Dowd are familiar with the intricacies of condo insurance and will tailor a policy to meet your specific coverage needs and requirements.
