What Is Dwelling Protection Coverage?

Dwelling Protection, also known as Coverage A in a Homeowners Insurance policy, safeguards the physical structure of your home — including the walls, roof, floors, and built-in fixtures — against damage caused by covered perils such as fire, lightning, windstorms, hail, vandalism, and theft.

If your home is damaged or destroyed by a covered event, this coverage helps pay for repairs or rebuilding costs up to your policy limit. It’s the foundation of every Homeowners Insurance policy, designed to restore your home to its original condition and protect your largest investment from sudden, unexpected loss.

Dwelling Protection can also extend to attached structures such as garages, decks, and porches, depending on your policy. Combined with Personal Property, Liability, and Loss of Use Coverage, it forms the core of a complete home insurance plan.

It covers damage to your home’s structure from covered events such as fire, hail, lightning, windstorms, or vandalism. Coverage also extends to permanently attached features like garages or decks.

Dwelling coverage is a component of homeowners insurance focused on the structure itself, while homeowners insurance also includes personal property, liability, and additional living expenses.

You should insure your home for its full replacement cost, ensuring you can rebuild the property using similar materials and workmanship if it’s completely destroyed.

No. Detached structures such as sheds or fences are typically covered under a separate section of your policy known as Other Structures Coverage (Coverage B).

No. Flood and earthquake damage are not covered under standard dwelling protection policies. Separate or endorsed policies are required for these risks.

If your policy includes loss-of-use coverage, it may pay for temporary housing, food, and related expenses while your home is being repaired or rebuilt.

Dwelling protection provides financial security and peace of mind, ensuring your home can be repaired or rebuilt after covered disasters without creating a major financial burden.
