What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover in SC & GA?

Every homeowners policy includes four core coverage types. Understanding them helps you choose the right limits for your family.

Dwelling Coverage

Protects your home's physical structure — walls, roof, foundation, built-in appliances, and attached structures like garages. Covers repair or rebuild costs from covered perils. Recommended at 100% of replacement cost.

Pro tip: Choose replacement cost, not actual cash value, for the best protection.

Personal Property

Covers your belongings — furniture, electronics, clothing, and more — whether damaged at home or anywhere in the world. Standard policies cover 50-70% of your dwelling limit. High-value items may need scheduled coverage.

Pro tip: Create a home inventory to ensure adequate coverage for your belongings.

Liability Protection

Covers legal costs and damages if someone is injured on your property or you accidentally damage someone else's property. Standard coverage starts at $100,000 but $300,000-$500,000 is recommended.

Pro tip: Consider an umbrella policy for liability above $500,000.

Additional Living Expenses

Pays for temporary housing, meals, and other costs if your home becomes uninhabitable after a covered loss. Covers the difference between your normal living costs and temporary expenses.

Pro tip: Keep receipts for all extra expenses if you need to file a claim.
