Why It Matters

Why Home Insurance Is Essential

Your home is likely the largest investment you'll ever make — and one storm, fire, or lawsuit can put everything at risk. Standard home insurance protects the structure of your home, your belongings inside it, and your personal liability if someone gets hurt on your property.

As an independent agency, Brawner Insurance compares coverage from 50+ carriers to find the right policy for your home, your location, and your budget. We make sure you're not underinsured — and not overpaying for coverage you don't need.

Coverage Options

Home Coverage Through Brawner

A solid home policy has several layers. Here's what we help homeowners put in place.

Dwelling Coverage

Covers the physical structure of your home — walls, roof, floors, and built-in appliances — against fire, wind, hail, and other covered perils.

Personal Property

Protects your furniture, electronics, clothing, and personal belongings — whether the loss happens at home or away from it.

Personal Liability

Covers legal and medical costs if someone is injured on your property or you accidentally damage someone else's property.

Additional Living Expenses

Pays for hotel, meals, and temporary housing costs if your home becomes uninhabitable after a covered loss.

Flood & Disaster Add-Ons

Standard policies exclude floods and earthquakes. We help you add the right supplemental coverage for your region and risk level.

Every Home Is Different

Additional Protection

Additional Home Insurance Options

Beyond the standard policy, these add-ons help close the gaps that most homeowners don't know exist.

Flood Insurance

Standard policies exclude flooding. Separate flood coverage is critical if you live near rivers, low areas, or in a FEMA flood zone.

Earthquake Coverage

Often excluded from standard policies. We can add earthquake coverage if your home is in a seismically active area.

Scheduled Personal Property

High-value items like jewelry, art, and collectibles often exceed standard limits. Schedule them separately for full coverage.

Service Line Coverage

Covers repair or replacement of underground utility lines — water, sewer, electric — that run to your home from the street.

Not sure what coverage you need?

We'll review your home's risk factors and build a policy that covers what matters — without paying for what doesn't.

Common Questions

Home Insurance FAQ

How much home insurance do I need?

+

Your dwelling coverage should be enough to fully rebuild your home at today's construction costs — not just its market value. Many homeowners are underinsured because building costs have risen sharply. We review your coverage limits to close that gap.

Does home insurance cover flooding?

+

Standard home insurance does not cover flooding from outside your home — including heavy rain, river overflow, or storm surge. You need a separate flood insurance policy. We can help you determine if you need it and find the right coverage through the NFIP or private carriers.

What does home insurance not cover?

+

Common exclusions include flooding, earthquakes, normal wear and tear, pest damage, and intentional damage. High-value items like jewelry and electronics may also have sub-limits. We review these gaps and recommend endorsements or separate policies where needed.

Can I bundle home and auto insurance?

+

Yes — and bundling usually saves you money. Most carriers offer multi-policy discounts of 5–15% when you combine home and auto. We compare bundled pricing to make sure you're getting the best overall deal.

What happens if I'm underinsured after a claim?

+

If your coverage limit is lower than the cost to rebuild, you pay the difference out of pocket. This is called being underinsured and it's more common than most people realize. We review your policy annually to make sure your coverage keeps up with rising construction costs.

Do I need home insurance if I own my home outright?

+

It's not legally required, but it's strongly recommended. Without insurance, a single fire or severe storm could cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in repairs. It also protects you from liability if someone is injured on your property.

Your home deserves real protection.

We'll find the right home insurance policy for your family — comparing carriers, filling gaps, and making sure you're never underinsured.
