Is Your Home Properly Protected Against New Jersey Risks?

Owning a home in New Jersey means dealing with weather, coastal exposure, and aging infrastructure that can put your property—and your finances—at risk. It’s normal to feel uncertain about whether your current policy would really protect you after a storm, fire, or unexpected accident. With over 100 years of experience insuring New Jersey homes, we explain your coverage options clearly, compare multiple carriers, and help you build protection that truly fits your situation—including when added liability protection through an umbrella insurance policy makes sense. Whether you live inland or near the Jersey Shore, we guide you through local risks like Nor’easters, rising water, winter hazards, and liability exposures with straightforward confidence.

What We Help With

Dwelling Coverage
If a fire, storm, or Nor’easter damages the structure of your home, this coverage helps rebuild or repair walls, roofs, and other major components. It provides the financial protection needed to restore your home after common New Jersey perils.


Personal Property Coverage
If your belongings are damaged or stolen—whether from a winter power surge, break-in, or coastal storm—this protects furniture, electronics, clothing, and other valuables. It ensures the things that make your house a home are covered at the moments you need it most.


Liability Protection
If a guest slips on your icy front step or is injured on your property, liability coverage helps protect your finances. It covers medical bills, legal fees, and settlements so you’re not paying out of pocket.

Additional Living Expenses (ALE)
If your home becomes uninhabitable after a storm or fire, ALE helps pay for temporary housing, meals, and essential costs while repairs are made. It gives you stability and comfort during difficult times.


Coastal Property Support
Homes near the Jersey Shore often face higher wind deductibles, salt-air wear, and hurricane exposure, making coverage more complex. We help you navigate coastal-specific requirements so your home is properly insured for real shoreline risks.

Your Homeowners Insurance Questions, Answered

  • Does homeowners insurance cover mold or water damage?

    Mold is typically only covered when it results from a sudden, covered water event—like a burst pipe—not long-term moisture or flooding. For storm-related water damage, you may need a separate flood insurance policy.

  • Will my policy replace an old or damaged roof?

    If roof damage results from a covered peril such as wind, hail, or a Nor’easter, repairs or replacement may be covered. Wear-and-tear or age-related deterioration is usually excluded.

  • Do I need flood insurance separately?

    Yes. Standard homeowners policies do not cover flood damage from storm surge, heavy rain, or rising water. Homes near coastal areas or low-lying zones benefit from a dedicated flood insurance policy.

  • How can I lower my home insurance premium?

    Bundling coverage, increasing your deductible, and improving home safety (smoke detectors, updated electrical systems) may reduce costs. As an independent agency, we compare multiple carriers to help find competitive pricing.

  • What factors affect homeowners insurance in NJ?

    Location, coastal proximity, roof age, construction materials, and claim history all play a role. Homes along the Jersey Shore may face higher wind or hurricane deductibles due to elevated weather risk.
