Your home is your castle.  Upon purchasing your homeowner’s insurance policy, make sure you give your Chess Insurance agent a clear description of your home’s structure (size, bathrooms, bedrooms and any custom items). This policy should also list excluded events that may not be included in the policy.

Residence Type

No two homes are the same! There are many different types of homes, so we will discuss with you what the option is that fits your needs!

• A Home insurance policy usually covers a home’s entire structure along with sheds and detached garages.
• A Condo insurance policy usually covers interior structures like drywall and lighting fixtures. Depending on your state & your association by-laws, external walls may not be covered.
• For Manufactured Homes, the entire structure is typically covered, but sheds and garages often require a separate policy.
• A Renters insurance policy has no physical structure coverage at all, but will cover your personal contents.

As with any insurance policy, certain items that may not be covered such as jewelry, furs and artwork. Ask your Chess Insurance agent about a special endorsement to a homeowner’s policy.

Excluded Events

It is important to understand the events that are not covered by your specific policy for homeowners and offer you options to insure those items. Typically, floods and earthquakes are excluded from basic policies, so if you need supplemental insurance policies for those situations, please ask an agent about this. Other conditions most companies specifically exclude are mold, fungus, wet rot, dry rot and bacteria.
