Columbus homes need Columbus-specific coverage
Older neighborhoods like German Village, Worthington, and Upper Arlington carry unique replacement costs — original brickwork, slate roofs, and custom millwork are expensive to rebuild. Newer developments like Polaris and New Albany have different exposure: square footage, finished basements, and high-end finishes.
We tailor your dwelling limit, ordinance-or-law coverage, and other structures (detached garages, sheds) to match what you actually own. No defaults pulled off a zip code.
Weather risk and what it means for your roof
Central Ohio gets hit by hail and straight-line winds every few years — recent storms have caused millions in roof damage across Franklin County. The single biggest gotcha we see: roofs settled at Actual Cash Value (ACV) instead of Replacement Cost.
If your roof is 12+ years old, some carriers will only insure it on ACV — meaning a $20K replacement might pay out $5K. We help you understand which carriers offer full RCV on older roofs and which don't.
Identity theft, jewelry, and the extras that matter
Standard home policies include sub-limits on jewelry, firearms, fine art, and collectibles — usually $1,500 to $2,500 total. If you have an engagement ring or a watch collection, you need a scheduled personal property rider.
Identity theft restoration coverage is a $20/year add-on that pays for legal fees, lost wages, and credit monitoring if your identity is stolen. With breaches happening monthly, it is one of the highest-value endorsements out there.
