Your home is a big investment and it deserves the right coverage. With Heritage Insurance, you can get the coverage your home needs at the right price. If you’re buying a home and need coverage, we can help you get what you’re looking for.
How to Get Homeowners Insurance?
If you have your house information handy, all you need is an insurance quote. That can be done in 2 ways.
1) Call for a quote 251-945-6666
2) Fill out a few things about your home at the bottom of this page or on the homeowners quote form.
Why Get Homeowners Insurance?
- Home is where the heart is. If it’s your primary residence, it’s the place where you keep all or most of your possessions. It makes sense to protect the things you own.
- If you have a mortgage on your home, the mortgage company requires that your home have homeowners insurance. Why? Because while you have a mortgage on your home, your home partially belongs to the mortgage company. If the mortgage isn’t paid off, the mortgage company can repossess the home. In the mean time, they don’t want the home that they partially own to suffer any damage.

What Does House Insurance Protect Against?
Well, that depends on what homeowner policy you get. There are 6 different homeowner’s policies that other companies offer. All covered perils can be described as sudden and accidental. A standard HO3 policy covers: Fire or Lightning, Windstorm or Hail, Explosion, Riot or Civil Commotion, Aircraft, Vehicles (not auto insurance), Smoke, Vandalism or Malicious Mischief (but only if your property has not been vacant for more than 30 days), Theft, Volcanic Eruption, Falling Objects, Weight of Ice, Snow, or Sleet, Accidental Discharge or Overflow of Water or Stream, Sudden & Accidental Tearing Apart, Cracking, Burning, or Bulging, Freezing, Sudden & Accidental Damage from Artificially Generated Electric Current.
What Are My Homeowners Options?
Heritage Insurance offers homeowners an HO3 policy. If you live in a condo, you need a separate policy found on the condo page. Your options are:
- A full policy or a “wind only” policy
- The amount of personal property coverage you want
- If you’d like to insure your other structures or not
What Does Personal Property Include?
It includes all of the contents within your home such as TVs and furniture. The important thing is to know what all homeowner’s policies DO NOT include. Things like guns and jewelry are only covered up to $2,500. Cars and watercraft aren’t covered.
