What's Covered

Home Insurance Coverage That Goes the Distance

A good homeowners policy protects the structure, your belongings, and your liability — all in one place.

🏠

Dwelling Coverage

Covers damage to the structure of your home from fire, wind, lightning, falling objects, and vandalism. The foundation of every homeowners policy.

🛋️

Personal Property

Your furniture, electronics, clothing, and valuables. We make sure limits are adequate for what you actually own — not just what fits on a form.

⚖️

Liability Protection

If someone is injured on your property, liability coverage protects you from lawsuits and legal costs. Often the most underestimated coverage.

🏨

Loss of Use

Covers hotel and living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered loss. You won't be left scrambling for a place to stay.

🌊

Water Backup

Optional but essential — covers water damage from backed-up drains and sump pumps. A common and costly claim that standard policies often exclude.

🔨

Guaranteed Replacement Cost

Farmers' Guaranteed Replacement Cost option covers the full cost to rebuild your home even if it exceeds your policy limits — no cap, no shortfall.

The Michels Difference

We Review Your Policy. Not Just Quote It.

Most agents just run your address through a system and give you a number. We review what you actually own, what your home is worth to rebuild, and what gaps might be lurking in your current policy.

  • Replacement cost analysis — we make sure your coverage limit reflects what it would actually cost to rebuild today
  • High-value item review — jewelry, art, electronics, and collections often need separate scheduling
  • Bundle savings — add auto and most clients save significantly across both policies
  • Claims advocacy — when you file a claim, we're in your corner, not just filing paperwork

Common Coverage Gaps We Find

These are the mistakes we see most often when reviewing existing policies — and they can cost you dearly in a claim.

  • ⚠️Underinsured dwelling — coverage limits that haven't kept up with construction cost inflation
  • ⚠️No water backup rider — sump pump failures and drain backups aren't covered by default
  • ⚠️Unscheduled valuables — engagement rings, art, and collectibles often exceed standard limits
  • ⚠️Inadequate liability — $100K doesn't go far in a lawsuit; most families need more
