What We Cover

Every home faces unique risks. Your policy should reflect that.

Standard policies often fall short. SandStone advisors review the specific risks your home faces and build coverage around them — not around what's easiest to sell.

Dwelling & Structure

Covers the cost to repair or rebuild your home's structure at today's labor and material prices — not its market value or what you paid for it.

Personal Property & Contents

Furniture, appliances, electronics, clothing, and personal belongings — all protected with replacement cost coverage, not depreciated value.

Personal Liability

Covers you if someone is injured on your property or if you're held responsible for accidental damage to others. Includes legal defense costs.

Additional Living Expense

Covers hotel, meals, and living costs while your home is being repaired after a covered loss — up to 20–30% of your dwelling limit.

Flood Coverage

Standard home insurance excludes flood damage. Florida homes are especially vulnerable. SandStone arranges flood coverage through NFIP or private carriers.

Water Damage & Backup

The most common cause of home loss. We recommend carriers that include sewer and drain backup coverage and review your policy for exclusions.

Valuables & Scheduled Items

Jewelry, fine art, firearms, and collectibles carry low sub-limits in standard policies. Scheduling them individually ensures full replacement with no deductible.

Medical Payments

Pays medical expenses for guests injured on your property — regardless of fault — without requiring a liability claim to be filed against you.

Umbrella & Excess Liability

When a serious accident leads to a lawsuit, your standard liability limit may not be enough. An umbrella policy adds a critical layer of financial protection.

Why SandStone

An independent agency works harder for your home

Captive agents represent one company. SandStone represents you. Our independence is structural — and it's the foundation of every recommendation we make.

We work for you, not a carrier

Privately owned and carrier-agnostic, SandStone has no incentive to push a specific company's product. We find the best fit from 10+ top carriers based on your actual home and risk profile.

Florida & Georgia expertise

Hurricanes, humidity, flood zones, sinkhole risk, and local building codes all affect your home's coverage needs. Our local advisors know these risks firsthand — not from a training manual.

Annual policy reviews included

Construction costs have risen significantly in recent years. Many homeowners are underinsured without knowing it. SandStone recalculates your rebuild value at every renewal to make sure your coverage keeps pace.

Transparent pricing

No hidden fees, no rate surprises. SandStone explains every line of your policy in plain language so you know exactly what you're paying for and why.

Claims advocacy included

When you file a claim, SandStone advocates for you throughout the process — not just at the point of sale. You get a real advisor on your side, not a phone tree.

Bundle home & auto for more savings

Combine your home and auto coverage with SandStone to unlock multi-policy discounts from the same carrier. Most clients save more bundled than they expect.

Client Results

Florida & Georgia homeowners trust SandStone

Real clients. Real experiences. Here is what working with a SandStone home insurance advisor looked like for three of our clients.

★★★★★
Caught a significant coverage gap

"I thought my home was fully covered. My SandStone advisor found that my dwelling limit was well below the actual rebuild cost. That discovery alone was worth every minute of the call."

Flood + home coverage sorted in one call

"After Hurricane Helene, I realized my previous policy didn't cover flood at all. SandStone set me up with both home and flood coverage — and explained every single thing I was paying for. That's rare."

Common Questions

Home insurance questions, answered honestly

Straight answers from SandStone advisors — no jargon, no sales pitch.

No. A standard homeowners policy does not cover flood damage. Flood insurance must be purchased separately through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or a private carrier. If your home is in a designated flood zone, your mortgage lender may require it. Given Florida's geography, SandStone strongly recommends every homeowner evaluate flood risk — not just those near water.

Actual cash value (ACV) pays the depreciated value of a damaged item — what it's worth today, not what it costs to replace. Replacement cost pays what it actually costs to buy a new equivalent. Replacement cost coverage typically pays 30–60% more after a loss. SandStone recommends replacement cost on both dwelling and personal property wherever possible.

Your dwelling limit should reflect the estimated cost to rebuild your home from the ground up at current labor and material prices — not its market value or purchase price. Construction costs have risen sharply in recent years, leaving many Florida and Georgia homeowners significantly underinsured without knowing it. SandStone recalculates rebuild cost at every renewal to keep your coverage accurate.

Homeowners insurance covers sudden, accidental roof damage from wind, hail, fire, and fallen trees. It excludes damage from age, wear, or deferred maintenance. In 2026, many carriers apply roof age schedules that reduce payouts or settle on ACV for roofs older than 15–20 years. A SandStone advisor will show you exactly how your carrier handles roof losses before you need to file a claim.

The most impactful discounts include bundling home and auto, installing monitored security systems, adding smart water leak sensors, upgrading to impact-resistant roofing, maintaining a claims-free history, and paying annually. Florida-specific resilient roofing credits are now mandated for Gulf Coast properties. SandStone identifies every discount you qualify for when comparing carriers.

At minimum, once a year — ideally 30–60 days before renewal. You should also review any time you renovate, purchase major items, start a home business, or add features like a pool or trampoline. SandStone advisors perform complimentary annual reviews as part of every client relationship.

Filing a claim usually raises your premium at the next renewal, depending on claim type and your loss history. Two or more claims within three years can trigger non-renewal in today's tighter market, particularly for water and roof claims. SandStone advisors help clients weigh the financial pros and cons before filing smaller claims that may cost more in long-term premium than the actual payout.
