Your house is more than just an investment, it’s a place where memories are made and dreams are

built. Whether you’re a first time home owner, or celebrating many happy years in your dream home,

Colorado Insurance is here to help you protect the home you love and the life you’ve built.

From the lofts of Downtown Denver, to the suburban tri levels of Highlands Ranch, Colorado Insurance

has a custom policy to fit all your Home Insurance needs. Because everyone’s needs are not the same, it

is best to consult your agent to help assess your needs and find the insurance policy that is right for you.

Coverage for Property and Possessions

Generally, dwelling coverage is based on replacement cost, which means that in the event of a total

loss, the policy will provide reimbursement, up to the policy limit, to replace the structure. Ideally, a

homeowner should buy enough insurance to completely rebuild the home, known as replacement

value. This figure may not be the home’s actual market value or what the owner originally paid for the

home. This is especially true in a depressed or an inflated market or if the home is simply not

replaceable to its condition prior to the loss. Replacement cost policies, which may pay over the policy

limit to rebuild the home, may be available from your insurer.Coverage for personal property is

different. Most policies provide actual cash value coverage for contents which includes depreciation, or

full value contents without depreciation. Actual cash value means that if a power surge blows out a 10-

year-old television set, the homeowner should know what to expect. Unlike full value contents

coverage, which would essentially provide a new television set, actual cash value coverage allows the

insurance company to calculate the useful life of the item and then depreciate the item to present

value. A depreciated 10-year-old television set would be insured for only a fraction of its original cost. A

homeowner may want to consider replacement cost coverage to be sure that the contents are

adequately insured.

Home Owners Liability Coverage

Liability insurance is very important to a homeowner’s coverage because it helps protect the owner

and the family from financial disaster if someone files a claim against the homeowner’s policy, sues the

homeowner or if the courts hold the homeowner legally responsible for someone else’s injury or

property damage. The standard liability limit for most policies is $100,000, but many people believe that

additional protection is needed, especially if the homeowner has sizable assets.

Theft Off Premises

Most policies automatically insure against the loss of personal property even if that property is not on

the insured premises when it is lost. If one goes to the airport with several suitcases and they are stolen,

this is probably covered.

Additional Living Expenses

Another automatic benefit of which many homeowners are unaware is coverage for living expenses if

the covered premises are damaged to the point of being uninhabitable. Not only should the policy pay

for the cost to repair the damage to the dwelling, but it should also reimburse the homeowner for the

additional expenses of living elsewhere while the repairs are being made.
