What does your homeowner’s insurance policy cover?
Your custom waterfront home from Shore-Line Construction is built to last. Sometimes, however, Mother Nature throws a curveball. For these situations, you will want to make sure your homeowner’s insurance will cover you in your time of need.
If your home is mortgaged, your lender will probably have their own set of criteria for how much insurance you will need. Your policy should include enough for the full replacement value of the home, as well as any outbuildings on the property, your belongings (particularly valuable jewelry and expensive furniture and electronics), and money to pay for a place to stay while you wait for your home to be fixed after a claim is filed.
Flood Coverage
Due to the proximity to water, waterfront properties are at a much higher risk for flooding than those further inland. Therefore, when coming up with your custom home budget, flood insurance should be factored into the monthly expenses. While building your new custom waterfront home is a fun and exciting process, it’s important to make sure you employ a certain amount of practicality.
Wind Coverage
Waterfront areas can get quite windy, particularly around hurricane season. Waterfront areas tend to be relatively flat, with very little to block high winds. Over time, the windy coastal weather can take its toll. A strong enough wind can take the siding right off! A lot of basic-level insurance policies don’t cover storm damage. When choosing your policy, make sure you’re covered if a storm tries to wreak havoc on your home.
