Homeowner's Insurance
For most of us, our home is the largest and most important purchase we will ever make. So, of course, it makes sense to insure your most valuable asset adequately.
A homeowners policy is a "package policy". Several coverages are bundled together to protect:
- The structure
- Your belongings(furniture,clothing, etc.)
- Your assets (liability protection)
There are many, many options you can add to the policy. Special coverage for items such as jewelry and fine arts. Watercraft coverage. Additional coverages for your In-Home business.
Please contact us and we will explain all the ins and outs of this complex product.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my homeowners policy cover damage caused by flood?
Homeowners policies do not cover flood damage. You would need a separate flood insurance policy. You should know that flood insurance does not cover contents. Water Street Insurance can provide you with a quote and more information in the coverage that is provided.
My registration is up for renewal. The box in the middle says 'insurance stamp not required, active policy on file.' What do I do?
You just mail the whole card in (do not separate it at the perforation) directly to the Registry of Motor Vehicles. If an insurance stamp is required then the box would have stated that and you would need to visit Water Street Insurance.
Do I have glass coverage on my auto if I only carry liability insurance?
Only those who carry comprehensive coverage, which is Part 9 of your policy have glass coverage. If you experience a glass loss please contact Water Street Insurance for further instructions.
I recently moved and was wondering do I need to contact my insurance company?
