How Much Is Homeowners Insurance in New Jersey?
Home insurance costs are typically calculated using information on the home’s age, size, construction type, replacement cost, and location. For example, being along the coast brings convenience for family vacations to the beach, but it also brings the threat of damage during hurricane season. With a third of all homes in the state lining the Jersey Shore, we know it’s important to give you peace of mind. We’ll work with you to create a policy that meets your coverage needs.

Who Needs Homeowners Insurance?
Walk through your home and start adding up the cost of everything inside of it. Your dining room set, your television, your wardrobe… If your home were to experience some kind of damage, such as a fire or a burglary, would you be able to afford to replace all those items? Although it is not required by law in the state of New Jersey, we think if you have a home, you would benefit from homeowners insurance. Your home is unique, and your policy should be, too. We use our extensive experience and knowledge of New Jersey to craft a customized policy for your house and lifestyle.
