State Farm has been good to me for my insurance plans. I didn’t know each office was independently owned and operated but I’m glad I am with Nadirah at this office. She and the rest of the staff have been great..

How much insurance coverage should I have on my home?

John Powell - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jul 14, 2022
John Powell - State Farm Insurance Agent | Jul 14, 2022

The choice is yours, but State Farm recommends you choose a coverage limit at least equal to your home’s estimated replacement cost. (The estimated replacement cost isn’t the same as the market value, which is the price you can expect your home to yield on the market.) If you choose a coverage amount less than the estimated replacement cost, you may not be eligible for certain coverages. Since no one can say what the exact cost will be to replace your home in the future, you’ll need enough coverage to account for unforeseen circumstances.
