How Much Coverage Do I Need?

How much is home insurance? It depends on how much it would cost to rebuild your home not what it would sell for. That’s a detail many homeowners overlook.

Being slightly underinsured might not sound like a big deal until you need to file a claim. At Liberty, we help you understand your homeowner’s insurance limits so you can avoid surprises.

Here’s what we look at:

Replacement cost isn’t market value – Your policy should cover the full cost to rebuild, not just what the real estate market says your home is worth
Rebuild costs vary – Roofing materials, square footage, finishes, and even labor costs in your zip code can shift your coverage needs
Coverage needs evolve– Renovations, upgrades, or inflation may change your insurance needs
Underinsurance is common – Many homeowners don’t realize their current coverage isn’t enough until it’s too late

What a Homeowners Policy Typically Covers

What does homeowners insurance cover? A policy protects your home, what’s inside it, and your financial liability when the unexpected happens. We help make sure your coverage fits your property and your budget.

Living in Chicago often means owning older homes or properties under renovation. That brings extra considerations like ordinances or other coverage which helps cover costs if you need to rebuild to meet modern codes. We’ll help you understand what coverage you have and what you might be missing.

Here’s what’s typically included in a home insurance coverage policy:

Dwelling

Covers your home’s structure in case of fire, storms, or other covered damage.

Other Structures

Protection for fences, garages, sheds, and other non-attached buildings.

Personal Property

Replaces belongings inside your home including furniture, electronics, clothing, and more.
