Vermont Home Insurance That Knows What You're Actually Up Against
We shop homeowners insurance across 14 carriers — including Vermont-based insurers — so your coverage fits your home, your property, and the risks that come with living here.
Personal Insurance Built Around What You Actually Own
What Your Homeowners Policy Covers — and What It Doesn't
A standard homeowners insurance policy covers a lot: your dwelling structure, personal belongings, liability if someone is injured on your property, and additional living expenses if you're displaced after a covered loss. For most Vermont homeowners, that foundation is the right starting point.
What it doesn't cover is flood damage. This catches a lot of people off guard, especially after a storm. If water enters your home from rising ground water, an overflowing river, or surface runoff, a standard homeowners policy won't pay for it. That requires a separate flood insurance policy — something we can help you put in place before you need it.
We also offer flood coverage as a standalone line, so you don't have to piece it together elsewhere.
Older Homes and Rural Properties Are a Core Part of What We Do
Northern Vermont's housing stock is different from what most national insurance algorithms are built around. Older farmhouses, properties on unpaved roads, homes with woodstove heat, outbuildings, and acreage — these aren't edge cases for us. They're a significant part of the homes we insure every day.
Some carriers are reluctant to write coverage on older or rural properties, or they'll write it with exclusions that leave you underinsured. We know which of our 14 carriers are a good fit for these properties and which ones aren't. That knowledge matters when a claim happens.
If you've had trouble getting coverage elsewhere, or you're not sure whether your current policy actually reflects your home's replacement cost, it's worth a conversation.
We Shop the Same Carriers the Rate Sites Recommend — Then Go Further
When you search for homeowners insurance online, comparison sites tend to surface the same national names. We work with those carriers too. We also work with Vermont Mutual and Co-operative Insurance Companies — regional carriers that are frequently among the most competitive options for Vermont homeowners and that understand this state's specific risks and property types.
Shopping your home insurance across 14 carriers takes time you probably don't have. We do it as a standard part of the process, so you're not leaving money on the table or settling for coverage that wasn't built with Vermont in mind.

Common Questions About Personal Insurance
Common Questions About Home Insurance in Vermont
Does homeowners insurance cover flood damage in Vermont?
No — flood damage is excluded from standard homeowners insurance policies. This applies nationwide, including in Vermont. If your home is damaged by rising water, storm surge, or surface runoff, you need a separate flood insurance policy to be covered. We offer flood coverage and can help you understand whether your property's flood risk warrants it.How do I find the best home insurance in Vermont?
The most reliable way is to compare coverage and pricing across multiple carriers — not just the ones that advertise heavily. We work with 14 carriers, including Vermont-based insurers like Vermont Mutual and Co-operative, which are often highly competitive for Vermont homeowners. We do the comparison work for you and recommend the option that fits your home and budget.Can I get home insurance on an older farmhouse or rural property in Vermont?
Yes. Older homes, rural properties, and farmhouses with outbuildings or woodstove heat are a regular part of our book of business. We know which carriers are a good fit for these properties and can help you get coverage that reflects your home's actual replacement cost — not a national average that doesn't apply here.What is dwelling coverage?
Dwelling coverage is the part of your homeowners policy that pays to repair or rebuild the physical structure of your home after a covered loss — fire, wind, hail, and similar events. It's the foundation of any homeowners policy, and getting the coverage amount right matters. Underinsuring your dwelling is one of the most common gaps we see when reviewing existing policies. What's the difference between flood insurance and homeowners insurance? Homeowners insurance covers damage from sudden, internal events — a burst pipe, a fire, wind damage. Flood insurance covers damage caused by water entering your home from the outside, including heavy rain, river overflow, and snowmelt runoff. You need both policies to be fully covered for the range of risks Vermont homeowners face, particularly in areas near rivers or low-lying terrain.
