What Is Homeowners Insurance and Why Might You Need It in Pennsylvania?

Homeowners insurance is a type of property insurance that may provide financial support if your home or personal belongings are affected by certain events such as fires, theft, or weather-related incidents. For Pennsylvania residents, these events could range from snowstorms to flooding or wind damage, depending on where in the state the property is located.

Lenders typically require a home insurance policy as a condition for mortgage approval, but even without a mortgage, many homeowners choose to carry coverage as a safeguard against the unexpected. The right policy can also help with liability claims if someone is injured on your property or if you accidentally damage someone else’s property.

What Types of Home Insurance Policies Are Available in Pennsylvania?

Shoemaker’s Insurance works with a variety of carriers to offer different types of homeowners insurance options. While policies can vary, many include components such as:

  • Dwelling Coverage – May help pay for repairs or rebuilding if the structure of your home is damaged due to a covered peril.
  • Personal Property Coverage – May cover items like furniture, electronics, and clothing that are stolen or damaged.
  • Liability Protection – Could provide assistance with legal fees or settlements if you’re found responsible for someone else’s injury or property damage.
  • Additional Living Expenses (ALE) – Might cover costs like hotel stays or meals if your home becomes temporarily uninhabitable due to a covered loss.

Coverage terms and limits will differ depending on the insurer and the specifics of your policy. Our agents can help you review your options to better understand what may be included and what exclusions might apply.

  • Pennsylvania’s diverse geography means homeowners can experience a range of weather-related risks. In the winter, snow and ice can lead to frozen pipes or roof damage. In the warmer months, thunderstorms and occasional tornadoes bring wind and water damage concerns. Depending on your location, whether it’s rural, suburban, or urban, your exposure to these risks can vary.

    Shoemaker’s Insurance takes Pennsylvania’s weather patterns into account when helping clients evaluate their home insurance options. If you’re in an area prone to flooding or high winds, we can explore additional policies or endorsements that may better align with your needs.

  • Most standard homeowners insurance policies do not include flood or earthquake coverage. However, both types of events can occur in certain parts of Pennsylvania. If you live near a body of water, a flood insurance policy through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private carrier may be worth considering.

    Earthquake damage is less common in the state but not impossible. We can help assess your property’s risk and walk you through any supplemental coverage options that may be available.

  • The cost of home insurance in Pennsylvania can vary widely depending on several factors, including:

    • Location and ZIP code
    • Age and condition of the home
    • Replacement cost of the dwelling
    • Claims history
    • Chosen coverage limits and deductibles
