Coverage basics

Before you pick limits

If your question is not here, call the office. You will reach a licensed agent in Kansas City, not a queue.

As a floor, enough to protect what you could lose. For homeowners in this metro we usually recommend 100/300/100 on auto and $500,000 of personal liability on the home policy, then an umbrella above both if you have savings, equity or a professional income.

Most Kansas City homeowners policies now apply a separate deductible for wind and hail damage, written as a percentage of the dwelling limit. On a $400,000 dwelling limit, a 2 percent deductible means $8,000 comes out of your pocket first. We always convert it to dollars so there are no surprises.

No. Rising water is excluded from every standard homeowners policy. Flood coverage is a separate policy through the NFIP or a private flood market, and we can quote both. Water backup from a drain or sewer is different again and is added by endorsement.

Replacement cost settles a claim at what it costs to buy the item new today. Actual cash value subtracts depreciation first. The difference on a ten-year-old roof or a five-year-old sofa can be thousands of dollars, so we confirm which basis your policy uses.
