How Does Home Insurance Work?

In a typical homeowners policy, there are six main coverage areas—Dwelling, Other Structures, Personal Property, Loss of Use, Personal Liability, and Medical Payments—that together provide broad property and liability protection.

What Does Home Insurance Cover?

There are a variety of disasters that can cause damage to your property. Thankfully, home insurance may provide coverage for around 16 common hazards, including fire, lightning, theft, and falling objects like trees.

How Much Does Home Insurance Cost?

While there are many factors insurers use when setting a homeowner’s policy premium, the primary variable is a home’s replacement value, which is the actual cost to rebuild a house to its pre-loss condition if it is destroyed.

This Is What We Love to Do

Educating customers on how to protect what is most important to them, providing insurance solutions that are easy to understand and competitively priced, and backing it all up with exemplary service—these are the things every Bearingstar team member is passionate about.
