California Homeowners Insurance Information

Whether you own a house, condominium or townhouse, for most people
their home is their most important investment. GDI Insurance Agency
offers California homeowners insurance policies that have flexibility to
meet your individual needs and above all, provide you with the security
that comes only from the knowledge that your home is safe.

Insurance for your home is one of the most popular and important forms
of personal insurance and the typical California Homeowners Insurance
policy has two main sections:

Section I - insurance coverage for your property

Section II - personal liability coverage (to cover you in case of lawsuits
arising from things that happen on your property)

Homeowners insurance is often required by lenders to obtain a
mortgage and nearly everyone, whether you own or lease property,
should have the protection of homeowners insurance.

Personal liability in a California homeowners insurance policy is also an important
part of having security from accidents that may occur on your property. We
suggest you choose coverage limits that are not less than those on other liability
insurance you own, such as car insurance.

Covered losses under a California homeowners insurance policy can be paid on either a
replacement cost basis or on an actual cash value basis. When "actual cash value" is
used, the policy owner is entitled to the depreciated value of the damaged property.
Therefore, the older the item is, the less money you may receive for it. If you choose the
"replacement cost" coverage, the California homeowners insurance policy will reinburse
the amount it costs to replace the property with something of a similar type and quality at
current prices.

Replacement Cost or Actual Cash Value

California Homeowners Insurance Policy FAQ

An "All Risks" policy provides the broadest California homeowners insurance protection
because it will cover losses that are due to any peril except those specifically excluded in
the policy. A "Named Perils" policy covers losses that are due to only those perils listed in
the standard California Homeowners Insurance policy and typically include fire, hail,
windstorm, and other physical losses.

All Risks or Named Perils

California Homeowners Insurance Policy FAQ

If your policy limit is less than 80% of the replacement cost of your home, you will face a
"coinsurance penalty," which means you'll have out-of-pocket expenses to cover costs
beyond the policy deductible you chose. For example purposes we will assume your
home's estimated replacement value (RCV) is $100,000. The co-insurance clause requires
you carry at least $80,000 (80% of your RCV). If you chose to purchase only a $40,000
California Homeowners Insurance policy you would be underinsured by half. Therefore, in
the example the insurance company would pay one-half of a loss less the policy deductible,
so if you suffered a $10,000 covered loss to your house, condominium or townhouse and
had a $500 deductible, your policy would only pay $4,500.
