Homeowners Insurance
Our homeowners insurance protects single-family homes, townhouses, and rental properties against fire, theft, and liability risks. Coverage includes personal property, loss of use, and medical payments. Optional endorsements like Mariner Plus enhance protection with expanded tree removal and identity fraud coverage. Policyholders benefit from competitive pricing and regional underwriting expertise tailored to coastal properties.
Equipment Breakdown
This endorsement covers mechanical failures of home systems like HVAC, water heaters, and electrical panels. Unlike standard policies, we provide repair or replacement for breakdowns caused by normal wear and tear. Systems protected include solar heating, pool pumps, and home security devices, offering added security for modern home infrastructure.
Service Line Coverage
This optional coverage protects against damage to underground service lines for water, gas, and electrical systems. Policyholders receive reimbursement for repairs to covered lines owned by the insured. The program addresses leaks, ruptures, and arcing incidents, reducing financial risk for essential home utility infrastructure maintenance.
Flood Endorsement
Our flood endorsement provides alternative coverage to the National Flood Insurance Program. It offers replacement cost settlement for dwellings in all flood zones with limits matching standard homeowners policies. This integrated solution eliminates the need for separate flood policies, streamlining claims processing for combined homeowner and flood losses.
Commercial Residential Insurance
Designed for property managers and associations, this coverage protects condominium complexes, apartment buildings, and retirement communities. Policies include loss of rents, other structures coverage, and liability protection. We offer specialized programs for HOAs, apartment complexes, and continuing care facilities with competitively priced options tailored to multi-unit residential properties.
