Homeowners Insurance in Scituate, Massachusetts

Scituate is one of the most beautiful coastal tows on the South Shore of Massachusetts.  Located midway between Boston and Plymouth, with beautiful marshes and beaches, and accessibility to Boston, it’s easy to see why people choose to live in Scituate.

However, with its proximity to the coast, communities like Scituate have to contend with Mother Nature’s wrath regularly and have different insurance needs than residents of non-coastal areas. Homeowners insurance can help protect you, your home and your belongings from harsh weather and unforeseen circumstances.

Coastal Home Insurance in Scituate, Massachusetts 

How far your home is from the coast is one of the factors that determines whether or not you’ll need additional protection, as many carriers require additional coverage for homes located 3 miles or less from the coast.

Coastal homes require higher levels of protection than what a standard home insurance policy provides, because they face increased risk.  Seaside homes in Scituate are exposed to hurricanes, Nor’easters, and blizzards. Therefore, coastal home insurance policies can include separate wind deductibles, named-storm deductibles or hurricane deductibles. If wind blows a tree onto your roof, or an ice dam causes water damage inside your home, you need an appropriate amount of homeowners insurance to protect your coastal Scituate home.
