Insurance For People Who Own Their Home
House
Not all house insurance policies are created equal, nor are they priced the same. At Creighton & Company we take the time to understand your needs then tailor a complete insurance solution.
We offer a broad range of homeowner insurance products you can rely on. Whether you purchase one of our pre-packaged plans or our exclusively designed Signature insurance program, rest assured you'll be properly protected.
Some of the standard coverages in a homeowners policy include:
|
 |
Building coverage insures your primary residence and is usually set at 100% of the Replacement Cost amount. We recommend all risk coverage with guaranteed replacement cost. If you've
recently made renovations to your home or it has been 3 years since a detailed replacement
cost calculation was done on your home contact us today. |
|
 |
Contents coverage is usually set at an amount around 70% of the building coverage. This coverage protects your personal belongings including furniture, appliances, clothing and electronic equipment. If you need it, a higher limit can be purchased. We recommend all risk coverage with replacement cost. |
|
 |
Legal Liability coverage is usually set at $1,000,000 however higher limits are available. |
Your house insurance policy excludes several important coverages or places limitations on others. In many instances, it's advisable to purchase additional coverage through available policy endorsements to ensure you have the coverage you require. These are the most commonly purchased optional coverages:
