Our Comprehensive Home Insurance Services in Shirley
HO-3 Standards Homeowners Policies
The HO-3 policy, which is most sought-after here in Shirley, provides protection for your home in most situations and a wide range of protection for your belongings. If someone is hurt on your property, you're covered. If your home is damaged and uninhabitable, you can be reimbursed for extra living costs.
Fully comprehensive “Designer” (HO-5) plans
An HO-5 policy provides "open perils" coverage for your personal property, which is beneficial for recently built homes or when you require the highest level of protection. So, your jewelry, electronics, and fine art will be protected like your main house.
Condominium & Co-op Insurance (HO-6)
Most Shirley condo owners realize that master policies don’t always cover interior walls, home fixtures, or personal belongings. This type of insurance covers your built-in cabinetry and window treatments and the protections from liability and loss of use you require.
Assistance for First-Time Homebuyers
Are you trying to become a homeowner? To help you ease into insurance, we highlight how to calculate replacement costs, suggest needed endorsements, and alert you to discounts available in your area.
Coverage for Flood & Water Backup
Despite Shirley being in a low-risk flood zone, flooding or backed-up sewage in isolated basements can happen after a heavy storm. With Water Backup endorsements and standalone flood policies, your bank account won’t suffer in case of an overflowing sump pump or backed-up sewers.
Optional Coverages
This covers losses from earthquakes, rather than the typically included risks in regular policies.
By placing jewelry, collectibles, and cameras in scheduled personal property, you can receive their true value after a loss.
HVAC, electrical, and plumbing are covered if equipment related to these systems malfunctions unexpectedly.
Green Rebuilding: Includes additional Sanity, rewarding you for using green materials during rebuilding.
Home Business Endorsement: Your home and business equipment are protected should you run your business at your residence.

FAQs
Should I purchase more or less home insurance to cover myself?
You should ensure that your insurance covers enough to completely rebuild after a disaster-related loss and includes enough for today’s prices of your possessions. To protect your assets and income, it’s usually necessary to have liability limits that start at $300,000 and can reach $500,000. Our analysis will be customized to identify accurate numbers.
Does typical homeowners' insurance provide coverage for flood damage?
No, damage caused by heavy rains, storm surges, or flooding inside your home needs a private policy or an accidental flooding cover added to your current policy. We help calculate your risk of flooding and ensure your coverage is suitable. In most cases, we provide a lower rate than you may think.
What is the difference between actual cash value and replacement cost?
When you make an ACV claim, you receive the value your lost or damaged items have at present. Realizes the true cost by paying to rebuild items or damaged structures at today’s market prices. Replacement Cost is usually advised for homeowners to avoid being short on money after their home suffers a loss.
What do I do if my home is damaged?
We are available 24/7, so call us without delay at 631-736-6100. We will explain how to:
- Take photos and make lists of the damaged items.
- Give the insurer details about the damage and ask them to consider a claim.
- Arranging and taking part in inspector appointments
- Review the settlement agreement and make changes if negotiation is needed.
- We aim to ensure that everything goes well and justly, because your focus should now be on restoration.
Am I allowed to insure outbuildings, pools, or fences?
Yes. Standard policies offer limited coverage for detached structures (usually 10% of dwelling coverage). Still, you can raise that limit or add special endorsements on high-value outbuildings, in-ground pools, and security fencing.
