Coastal homes face unique risks from wind, storms, and water exposure. PRK Insurance Agency, Inc. helps you compare coverage options and choose protection that fits your home and location.
Coastal homeowners insurance typically covers your home’s structure, personal belongings, liability protection, and additional living expenses after a covered loss. Coverage varies by policy and location.
Many policies cover certain wind and storm related damage, but deductibles and limits may be different in coastal areas. We help you understand what applies to your property.
Most homeowners policies do not cover flood damage. Flood insurance is a separate policy and is often recommended for coastal homes depending on risk and location.
Pricing may depend on proximity to the coast, construction type, roof condition, elevation, claim history, coverage limits, and deductibles. Coastal risk factors can influence carrier availability.
Some coastal policies may have separate wind or hurricane deductibles. Choosing the right deductible is important because it impacts out of pocket costs after a storm claim.
Home improvements like storm shutters, upgraded roofing, improved wind resistance, and proper maintenance may help reduce risk and qualify for discounts, depending on the carrier.

No. Flood damage is typically not covered by standard homeowners insurance, even for coastal homes. Flood insurance is separate and may be strongly recommended.
A wind or hurricane deductible is a separate deductible that may apply to wind related claims during certain events. It can be a percentage of the dwelling coverage rather than a flat amount.
Factors often include location, proximity to the coast, home value, construction type, roof age, claim history, coverage limits, and deductibles. Carrier availability can also vary.
In many cases, yes. Options depend on your specific address, home details, and risk level. We can help you compare carriers and coverage programs.
Many flood claims occur outside high risk zones. Flood insurance may still be a smart option depending on your exposure and local conditions.
Some sudden water damage from storms may be covered, but flooding from rising water is not. Coverage depends on how the water entered and the policy terms.
Dwelling coverage should be based on rebuild cost, not market value. Coastal construction costs can be higher, so accurate limits are important.
You may be able to reduce costs through mitigation features like storm shutters, roof upgrades, reinforced construction, higher deductibles, and available discounts, depending on the carrier.
