“I paid $205 for insurance with GEICO, and really was unhappy with them. I stayed with them so long because I couldn’t find it in me to go through the agony of comparing companies. The Penny Hoarder gave Jerry a great review and I am so happy I gave them a try!” — M. Swatt
“Jerry took care of everything, even canceling my old policy and getting me a refund!” — S.C.
“Saved $600 a year. Every 6 months Jerry automatically checks rates again.” — B.D.
“It has better pricing than going directly to the Insurance Company. I have used Jerry for two policies now.” — Dave M.
“I downloaded 3 insurance searching apps and Jerry was the best one by far. Easy. Accurate. Great customer service!” — Kyerra S.

If you’re on the market for home insurance, it is important to understand what kind of protection you’re getting. Today we’re going to talk about “dwelling coverage,” which is part of most standard policies.
Dwelling coverage, which is sometimes called dwelling insurance, covers the cost of replacing, repairing, or rebuilding the structure of your home after most kinds of damage. That can mean the walls, the foundation, the roof — any physical part of your home and any structures attached to it. (Usually other buildings on your property that aren’t attached to your home, like a separate garage, aren’t covered by dwelling insurance.)
Most dwelling coverage covers damage done by:
— Hail
— Vandalism or theft
— Falling objects or the weight of snow on your house
— Vehicles
— Lightning
— Fire and smoke
— Explosions
— And windstorms
Certain kinds of damage, like sewer back-ups or damage from earthquakes or floods, aren’t covered by standard dwelling insurance coverage. Be sure to check with your insurance company when buying home insurance to see what your dwelling coverage explicitly covers. And remember that the amount you’ll have to pay out-of-pocket depends on the deductible you choose.
