New Jersey Homeowners Insurance Coverages Explained:

Homeowners insurance or HO-3 insurance insures against the cost of rebuilding or repairing a property when the property is damaged in circumstances outside of a persons control. For example, the consequences of disasters such as Fire, Storm, and Wind/Hail damage from severe weather. The main pillars of coverage for homeowners insurance are the following :

Coverage A, which is the main structure coverage. This is should be a number that is based on the Replacement Cost Valuation. This is essential because
it is based on replacing ones home without the depreciation factor.

Coverage B, also known as Other Structures. Simply meaning that it covers anything that is detached from the main structure like a detached garage ,
fence, shed etc. So if any of these Other structures applies to the property, take a good look at the amount of Coverage B to make sure that it is sufficient.

Coverage C which is the Personal Property Coverage. When shopping for a home insurance policy, it’s often a good idea to have personal property
coverage also known in the insurance world as personal contents coverage. To protect the items inside ones home such as Jewelry, clothes, furniture &
electronics.

Coverage D is also known as Loss Of Use. Please don't over look this coverage because this area of the policy insures in case of a partial or total loss,
and the house is not livable until it is replaced or repaired. This insurance section covers the expense of temporary living and food, until the home is
repaired or replaced and livable again.

Above are all the main coverages involved in a homeowners insurance policy. But to have a well rounded policy it is essential to have the following optional
coverage options such as:

1.) Water Back-Up 2.) Home Systems / Equipment Break Down Coverage 3.) Service Line Coverage
