Home Program

What typically is considered or can qualify for Tower Hill’s High Value Home program for coverage?
Tower Hill’s high value coverage is generally available for homes valued at $750,000 or more. Pablo Beach Insurance is located in Jacksonville and serves the greater Jacksonville marketplace. This specialized product fits a niche of high value homes that our agency serves both locally and across the state. The product also offers coverage up to $5 million with the Spire policy.
What are some of the basics on the Spire coverage package and special considerations?
With the Spire High Value Program, there are several enhancements that can be offered to customers. Here are just a few:
- Screen enclosure limitation is removed
- All Other Perils (AOP) deductible options up to $25,000
- Trampoline and diving board/pool slide liability limits up to $100,000
- Debris removal coverage up to 10% of coverage “A”
- Additional Living Expenses coverage up to 30% of coverage “A”
- Extended Replacement Cost for dwelling and contents (between 20% and 50%)
- Identity Fraud Expense coverage up to $25,000
How do real estate market conditions affect the amount of homeowners insurance coverage?
In the market downturn several years ago many customers were buying properties at depressed prices. However, in some cases the replacement cost of the homes was actually higher than the purchase price of the home. Remember: insurance coverage is based on the cost to rebuild, not the market conditions.
How is jewelry covered for theft loss under Tower Hill’s program?
The limit is up to $5,000 for stolen, misplaced, or lost items, not to exceed $1,000 per item.
