When we review your home coverage, we look at replacement cost versus actual cash value — and we make sure you understand the difference before anything goes wrong. Replacement cost pays to rebuild with comparable materials at today's prices. Actual cash value factors in depreciation, which can leave a significant gap when you need it most. We won't let that gap go unnoticed. We also represent Erie Insurance, Progressive, and several other carriers, which means we can find the right fit for your home, your budget, and your county.
Built for Hail Country
Southern Indiana sits in a region with serious storm exposure. Hail events, straight-line winds, and severe thunderstorms are a regular part of life here — and your homeowners policy should reflect that. We write coverage with this region's weather patterns in mind, making sure your dwelling coverage, other structures, and personal property limits are set where they need to be before storm season arrives, not after.
We're at Your Door After the Storm
Filing a claim after a major weather event can feel like a second disaster. You're already dealing with damage to your home — the last thing you need is to navigate a faceless 1-800 number alone. We show up in person for claims and stay involved through the process. For catastrophic events, we're available around the clock. That kind of local, hands-on presence is something a direct-to-consumer carrier simply can't offer.
What Your Homeowners Policy Covers
A standard homeowners insurance policy covers more than just the structure of your home. Here's what a well-built policy typically includes:
- Dwelling coverage — Repairs or rebuilds the main structure of your home after a covered loss
- Other structures — Covers detached garages, fences, and outbuildings on your property
- Personal property — Replaces furniture, appliances, clothing, and belongings lost to fire, theft, or storm
- Loss of use — Pays for temporary housing and living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable
- Liability protection — Covers legal and medical costs if someone is injured on your property
- Medical payments — Helps with minor injury costs for guests, regardless of fault
One important note: flood damage is not covered under a standard homeowners policy. If your property has any flood exposure, that requires a separate flood insurance policy.

Frequently Asked Questions About Home Insurance in Southern Indiana
What's the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value?
Replacement cost coverage pays to rebuild or repair your home using materials of similar kind and quality at current prices. Actual cash value subtracts depreciation, meaning you receive what your home or belongings were worth at the time of the loss — not what it costs to replace them today. For most homeowners, replacement cost coverage is the right choice, and it's something we review on every policy.Does homeowners insurance cover hail and wind damage?
Yes. Hail and windstorm damage are covered perils under a standard homeowners policy. Given Southern Indiana's storm exposure, we pay close attention to your dwelling and roof coverage limits to make sure they reflect what a real repair or rebuild would cost in this region.Is flood damage covered under my homeowners policy?
No. Flood damage is specifically excluded from standard homeowners insurance. If your home is in a flood-prone area — or even if it isn't, since most flood losses occur outside high-risk zones — a separate flood insurance policy is the right move. We can walk you through your options.Can I bundle my home and auto insurance for a discount?
Yes, and it's one of the most common ways our clients reduce their overall premium. A home and auto bundle through Erie Insurance typically delivers meaningful savings on both policies, and it simplifies your coverage into a single relationship with one agency.Do you serve homeowners outside of Evansville?
We do. We serve homeowners across Vanderburgh, Warrick, Posey, Gibson, and Spencer counties. Whether you're in Newburgh, Princeton, Rockport, or Mount Vernon, you'll work directly with our local team — not a call center.
