COMMON QUESTIONS

Home Insurance FAQs for Katy, TX

Answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners in our community.

What does a standard homeowners policy cover?

A standard HO-3 policy typically covers your dwelling, other structures like detached garages, personal property, liability, and additional living expenses. It protects against named perils like fire, wind, hail, theft, and vandalism. Flood and earthquake damage usually require separate policies or endorsements.

How much home insurance do I need?

Your dwelling coverage should reflect the full cost to rebuild your home at current construction prices, not its market value or purchase price. We calculate this using local building costs, square footage, and materials. Personal property coverage is typically set at a percentage of dwelling coverage, and we adjust it based on the value of your belongings.

Does home insurance cover flooding?

No, standard homeowners policies do not cover flood damage. You need a separate flood insurance policy, which we can help you obtain through the National Flood Insurance Program or private flood carriers. Even if you are not in a designated flood zone, it is worth considering — over 25 percent of flood claims come from moderate to low-risk areas.

How can I lower my home insurance premium?

There are several ways to reduce your premium. Bundling your homeowners coverage with auto insurance often produces the biggest discount. Other options include raising your deductible, installing a security system or smart home devices, updating your roof or electrical system, and maintaining a claims-free history. We review all available discounts during your annual policy review.

What is the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value?

Replacement cost pays the full amount to repair or replace your home and belongings at current prices, without deducting for depreciation. Actual cash value factors in depreciation, meaning you receive less for older items. We typically recommend replacement cost coverage because it provides more complete protection and avoids out-of-pocket gaps after a claim.
