What is Homeowners Insurance?
Homeowners insurance provides financial protection against disasters. A standard policy
insures the home itself and the things you keep in it.
Homeowners insurance is a package policy. This means that it covers both damage to your property and your liability or legal responsibility for any injuries and property damage you or members of your family cause to other people. This includes damage caused by household pets.
Damage caused by most disasters is covered but there are exceptions. The most significant are damage caused by floods, earthquakes and poor maintenance. You must buy two separate policies for flood and earthquake coverage. Maintenance-related problems are the homeowners’ responsibility.
What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover?
A standard homeowners insurance policy can provide several important types of protection. Your exact coverage depends on the policy and endorsements you select.
Dwelling Coverage
Dwelling coverage helps pay to repair or rebuild your home after covered damage. Depending on your policy, covered causes of loss may include events such as fire, wind, hail, or other specified perils.
Personal Property Coverage
Your home contains more than walls and furniture. Personal property coverage can help protect belongings such as clothing, furniture, electronics, appliances, and other personal items after a covered loss.
Liability Coverage
Homeowners insurance can also provide liability protection if you or a covered member of your household are legally responsible for someone else’s bodily injury or property damage..
Additional Living Expenses
If a covered loss makes your home temporarily uninhabitable, additional living expense coverage may help pay certain extra costs while your home is being repaired or rebuilt, subject to your policy’s limits and terms.

- How Much Does Home Insurance Cost in McAllen?
There is no single price for home insurance in McAllen. Insurance companies consider factors such as the home’s location, age, construction, replacement cost, roof, claims history, coverage limits, deductible, and selected endorsements.
Instead of choosing a policy based solely on the lowest premium, compare the coverage you’re receiving for the price. SafeGuard works with multiple insurance companies, making it easier to compare available options side by side.

As a full-service insurance agent, SafeGuard is committed to tailored insurance solutions. No more finding quotes that offer too much or too little coverage. No more comparing quotes based only on price. Our dedicated team finds the solutions you need so you can look beyond price to get total peace of mind.
- Will homeowners insurance cover my valuables?
A standard homeowners policy will usually cover the personal belongings inside your home. However, you may need to add coverage specifically for your valuables, because your homeowners policy may place limits on the value of items that they cover or exclude certain items from the policy. Your agent can help you find the right coverages to add to your homeowners insurance policy.
- When should I increase my homeowners coverage?
Your policy coverage amount will depend upon your home, location, and other factors (e.g. pets, safety features, etc.). If anything about your home or living circumstances changes, you should let your agent know. In particular, alert your agent when you move, complete improvements, and conduct renovations and additions to your home. An annual review of your policy with your agent can make it more likely that you always have the right coverage for your needs.
- Do I need to create an inventory of my belongings?
An inventory of your belongings is not necessary to get homeowners insurance in Texas. However, it can be useful to have such a list stored in a secure location if you ever need to file a claim.
- Reevaluate your coverage with life changes
Life happens. When it does, your insurance needs may change. What life changes may lead to insurance changes? Marriage, divorce, home renovations, purchasing or selling a house, starting a business, buying a luxury item or vehicle, getting a pet, and more. Here at SafeGuard, our professional team is ready to adapt your coverage at any time. Just give us a call!

- Does homeowners insurance cover a home business?
Usually, your homeowners insurance will not cover a home business. A business owner’s policy may be necessary to protect your business instead, even if it operates out of your home.
- Can I get discounts on my homeowners insurance?
Possibly. Some policies do offer discounts if your home has certain safety features such as alarm systems, fire protective devices, smart home technology, and more. Ask your agent to help you identify any discounts for which you may be eligible.
