Dwelling
Helps repair or rebuild the house and attached structures after a covered loss, up to the limit. The amount is generally based on reconstruction cost, not the home’s market value.
Homeowners Insurance
Protect the home you live in—not its real-estate price.
Florida homeowners insurance is built around reconstruction cost, covered causes of loss, deductibles, property condition, and liability—not simply the home’s market value.

Coverage education
Common coverages and policy features
Exact coverage depends on the policy form, limits, deductibles, endorsements, exclusions, and carrier approval. These explanations are educational and do not replace the policy contract.
Other Structures
Helps cover detached property such as a fence, shed, pergola, or detached garage when damaged by a covered cause of loss, subject to limits and exclusions.
Personal Property
Helps replace or repair covered belongings such as furniture, clothing, and electronics. Check whether settlement is actual cash value or replacement cost and whether special limits apply.
Loss of Use / Additional Living Expense
Helps with reasonable extra living costs when a covered loss makes the home uninhabitable, subject to the policy limit and time period.
Personal Liability
Helps with defense and covered damages if you or an insured household member is legally responsible for another person’s injury or property damage.
Medical Payments to Others
Helps pay smaller medical expenses for a guest injured on the property, often regardless of fault, up to a modest limit. It does not replace personal liability coverage.

Homeowners Insurance: Frequently asked questions
Why is dwelling coverage lower than the price I paid for the home?
Dwelling coverage estimates the cost to rebuild the insured structure after a covered loss. The purchase price also reflects land, location, market demand, and other items that are not rebuilt by the policy.
Does homeowners insurance cover flood?
Standard homeowners policies generally exclude flood caused by rising water or storm surge. Separate flood insurance may be needed even outside a high-risk flood zone.
Are wind and hurricane losses covered?
They may be included, limited, or written separately depending on the carrier and property. Florida policies often have a separate percentage hurricane deductible, so review both coverage and deductible.
What is a hurricane deductible?
It is commonly a percentage of the dwelling limit, not a percentage of the claim. For example, a 2% deductible on $500,000 of dwelling coverage equals $10,000, subject to policy and Florida rules.
Why do roof age and condition matter?
The roof is a major driver of wind and water-loss severity. Carriers may request age, permit, remaining-life, shape, material, inspection, or mitigation information before approving or renewing coverage.
What are 4-point and wind-mitigation inspections?
A 4-point inspection reviews roof, electrical, plumbing, and HVAC—often for older homes. A wind-mitigation inspection documents features that may qualify for premium credits; neither inspection guarantees acceptance.
Does the policy cover all water damage?
No. Sudden accidental discharge may be covered, while flood, long-term leakage, wear, neglect, or repeated seepage may be excluded or limited. Water-backup coverage may require an endorsement.
How should I insure jewelry, art, or collectibles?
Standard personal-property coverage often has special sublimits for valuable categories. Scheduling items with appraisals or adding endorsements can provide broader limits and terms.
Does submitting the form create a policy?
No. The form starts the review. Coverage exists only after the carrier approves the risk, the terms are accepted, payment requirements are met, and the effective date is confirmed.
How does TerraBridge help with this decision?
TerraBridge gathers the initial context, checks markets available for homeowners insurance, and explains relevant coverages, limits, deductibles, and tradeoffs. Final approval and issuance remain subject to carrier underwriting.
Insurance products are subject to underwriting approval, carrier availability, eligibility, terms, conditions, limitations, and exclusions. Submitting a request does not bind coverage, guarantee a quote, or create an insurance policy. Coverage is only effective when confirmed by the applicable carrier or authorized platform.
