What Gainesville Mobile Home Insurance Covers
When shopping for your coverage, look for a mobile home policy that offers replacement cost coverage for the dwelling. This ensures you actually have the coverage to replace your home after a catastrophic loss.
All of our policies offer the following coverage:
- Replacement cost dwelling coverage: This pays to repair or replace the mobile home after a covered claim.
- Other structures coverage: This can pay to repair or replace other structures on your property, such as fences or sheds.
- Personal property coverage: You’ll need this to repair or replace your personal belongings, like furniture, electronics, appliances, and even clothing.
- Loss of use coverage: If a covered claim forces you to live somewhere else while repairs are underway, this can help pay for the additional living expenses.
- Personal liability coverage: If you’re sued over someone’s bodily injuries or property damage, this can help cover your legal fees.
- Medical payments coverage: When someone is injured on your property, this can help pay for small medical bills.
We can also customize your policy with endorsements like flood insurance. While your policy does include hurricane coverage for damage caused by hurricane winds, it doesn’t automatically include flood coverage.
