Coverage options built for every property type, from primary residences to rental units and condos, presented with transparent details and no hidden clauses.
Property situations vary widely, and a one-size-fits-all policy rarely delivers adequate protection. The coverage options available through BenniesHomes are organized by property category, making it straightforward to identify a plan that matches the actual risks and responsibilities tied to each living arrangement.
A comprehensive policy for property owners covering the building structure, personal belongings, and liability in a single package. Addresses damage from fire, wind, hail, and other covered perils while protecting against injury claims on the property.
Tailored for tenants who rent their living space. Protects personal belongings against theft, fire, and water damage, and includes liability if a guest is injured inside the rented unit. The building remains the landlord's responsibility. This plan covers what belongs to the tenant.
Designed for property owners who rent out residential units. Covers structural damage to the building, potential loss of rental income during repairs, and the liability exposure that comes with tenants occupying the space. Standard homeowners policies typically do not extend to rental properties.
Condo owners share walls and common spaces, creating a unique coverage situation. This policy covers the interior of the unit, personal belongings, and liability, stepping in where the building association's master policy leaves off. Interior improvements and upgrades are included.
Standard property policies exclude flood damage, leaving a significant gap for homes in flood-prone areas or anywhere heavy rainfall causes water to accumulate. Flood insurance covers structural damage and belongings affected by flooding, providing a dedicated layer of protection that fills that gap.
When a liability claim exceeds the limits of a standard homeowners or renters policy, umbrella coverage steps in to handle the remainder. It provides an extended layer of financial protection against large lawsuits, medical costs, and legal fees that standard policy limits cannot fully absorb.

Get StartedStraightforward answers to common questions about selecting, activating, and using home insurance coverage.
A standard homeowners policy generally covers the structure of the home, personal belongings inside, and liability if someone is injured on the property. It also often includes additional living expenses if the home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event. Specific exclusions vary by policy, so reviewing the terms before finalizing coverage is always recommended.
The starting point is the type of property and the occupant's relationship to it. Owners of single-family homes typically need a homeowners policy, while tenants benefit most from renters coverage. Landlords, condo owners, and those in flood-prone areas each have dedicated options that match their specific circumstances more accurately than a generic plan would.
After a covered incident, the process begins by documenting the damage and contacting the insurer to open a claim. An adjuster is assigned to assess the situation, determine what falls within policy coverage, and calculate the appropriate payout. Most standard claims are acknowledged quickly, with status updates provided throughout the process until resolution.
Yes, most policies allow adjustments at renewal time or in some cases mid-term if the property situation changes significantly, such as completing a major renovation or acquiring high-value items. Coverage can typically be increased, decreased, or supplemented with additional riders to reflect the updated value of the property and its contents.
No. Flood damage is excluded from standard homeowners and renters policies. A separate flood insurance policy is required to cover water damage caused by flooding, storm surge, or overflow from bodies of water. Properties in designated flood zones or areas with heavy seasonal rainfall benefit most from adding this coverage alongside a standard plan.
