There are some things that money can’t buy, like holiday memories or family traditions. But if a loss does occur, do you have enough coverage to protect your family from financial ruin? If you’re like most people, your home is your largest asset. What would it take to rebuild, repair or replace your home at today’s prices? Fortunately, a homeowners policy can provide both protection and peace of mind. Sleep better at night knowing that you and your family will be taken care of in the event of a disaster.
If a loss occurs, your homeowners policy makes sure your home can be repaired, rebuilt or replaced at today’s prices. This also can include other structures on the property such as a garage, shed or fence.
Your appliances, dishes, clothing and any other valuables are protected, at home or elsewhere. Use a Home Inventory Checklist to itemize your personal belongings.
If someone is injured on your property or if you (or a family member) are accused of injury or damage to others, your homeowners policy may protect your assets from liability claims.
If a loss occurs, your policy may cover some temporary living expenses while you’re waiting for your home to be repaired. This may include shelter, food and relocation costs.
Unique or valuable items, like fine art or jewelry, may require additional coverage. Ask your agent about adding an endorsement to make sure all of your personal belongings are protected.
Home mechanical or electrical breakdowns are often not covered in homeowners policies and may require additional coverage. Our Homeowners Equipment Breakdown Insurance offers protection against those types of costly home improvement repairs.
Dwelling fire insurance is an option for homeowners or for those who rent their house to others; protecting their investment and source of income. If a loss occurs for a landlord and their tenants have to move out, they could be faced with weeks or months of lost income – in addition to the cost of rebuilding, replacing or repairing the property. Whether an owner or a landlord, keep your property, assets and your wallet financially sound by purchasing a dwelling fire policy.
Keep your property protected from disasters, theft or vandalism.
Appliances and even tools you keep on site may be covered.
Protect yourself from liability claims as a result of injury or damage on your premises when you add liability to your policy.
If your property is unfit for use due to a covered loss, your policy may reimburse the rent while your property is being repaired.

Your appliances, dishes, electronics, clothing and any other valuables are protected. Use a Home Inventory Checklist to itemize your personal belongings.

A flood can happen anywhere and anytime, whether your property resides inland or in a low-lying area. Flood insurance must be purchased separately because damage from flooding is not covered under typical homeowners, renters, condominium and landlord policies.
Flood insurance covers your property and possessions damaged as a result of a flood – even if a disaster isn’t declared.
Keep in mind that most flood insurance policies have a 30-day waiting period for coverage to take effect. Purchase a flood insurance policy now to avoid delays.
Ask about our Private Flood Program which offers lower rates than the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and additional features such as no 30-day waiting period, more deductible options, and higher limits for dwelling and contents. In addition, current Centauri Homeowners Insurance policyholders may qualify for our companion Flood Policy Discount.
The federal government, FEMA, manages the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Most people are eligible to purchase flood insurance as long as their community participates in the program. Visit FloodSmart.gov for more information about NFIP.
May and June mark the start of hurricane season. While weather preparedness is necessarily a year-round exercise (as evidenced by the tornado and hail events that struck policyholders in several states this spring), the increased risks posed by hurricane season call for heightened vigilance and readiness.

Most importantly, the safety of your customers and their loved ones should always come first! For more hurricane information and tips, visit our Disaster Preparedness page.
