Types of coverage we provide
Protects you if you cause injury or property damage to others in an accident. Helps cover medical costs, legal fees, and/or repairs.
This provides coverage for loss and damage to your property and/or any assets.
A predetermined amount of money that you must pay towards the cost of the claim. Home insurance has different deductibles for different coverage.
These are optional coverages you can buy that protect you for water damage such as sewer back up and fresh water flooding.
This allows for the protection of your “claims-free discount” in the event of your first claim.
Referring to 'special limits' on items like jewellery or art if the value is greater than the special limit you should list the item separately.
When you purchase comprehensive home coverage, it means you are covered for anything that is not excluded.
When you purchase broad home coverage, it limits your contents coverage to only specific coverages, (ie. theft, fire, water damage, etc.)

Home insurance FAQs
The cost typically depends on a number of factors including the construction of the home, updates to heating, electrical, plumbing, and roofing, chances of water damage, prior claims, and more. It’s best to budget approximately $800-2600 annually for home insurance costs, but again this will vary from person to person.
There are four basic types of home insurance you can get:
Comprehensive: This provides the most coverage and is the most expensive. It covers your home and its contents against all perils (except the ones specifically excluded from your insurance policy)
Basic or Named Perils - This coverage insures your home, contents and property for perils that are specifically named in your policy
Broad: This is coverage that is right in between a standard policy and comprehensive, covering your home against all risks (minus exclusions) and coverage for your contents against any named risks.
No frills: This provides minimal coverage, and is the cheapest. It is usually for homes that don't meet underwriting standards (doesn't meet normal insurance standards).
And of course, if you feel you need more coverage you can inquire about extra coverages (or endorsements) that will cover certain risks that can affect your area such as:
- Overland flooding
- Windstorm damage
- Sewer backup
