What you're actually insuring

A house isn't one thing — it's a stack of separate coverages that most policies bury in a table on page nine. Here they are on page one.

Coverage limit

  • $340,000

    The structure

    Roof, walls, foundation, built-in everything

  • $170,000

    Your belongings

    Furniture, clothes, electronics, the lot

  • $34,000

    Detached structures

    Garage, shed, fence, that deck you built

  • $68,000

    Loss of use

    Rent and meals while your home is unlivable

  • $300,000

    Personal liability

    If someone is hurt on your property

  • $5,000

    Medical payments

    Small injuries, settled without a lawsuit

  • $25,000

    Water backup

    Sewer and sump-pump failures

  • $15,000

    Valuables rider

    Rings, art, instruments, above the base limit

Eight coverages, one monthly price. Adjust any limit and watch the number move before you buy — no agent, no callback.

Every figure on this page is an illustrative placeholder for a portfolio build, not a quote or an offer of coverage.

What’s covered

  • Fire, smoke, lightning, and explosion
  • Wind, hail, and falling trees
  • Burst pipes and sudden water damage
  • Theft and vandalism
  • Somewhere to live while repairs happen
  • Liability if someone is injured on your property
  • Damage your kids or pets cause to someone else's property

What’s not

  • Flood — a separate policy, and worth having
  • Earthquake — also separate, depending on your state
  • Gradual leaks you knew about and didn't fix
  • Mold from long-term damp
  • Termites, rodents, and other pests
  • Normal wear, settling foundations, and aging roofs

What a real claim looks like

A pipe lets go behind the kitchen wall while you're at work on a Thursday.

  1. 5:20 pm

    You find it

    Water across the floor and a stain climbing the drywall. You open the app in the kitchen.

  2. 5:24 pm

    You film the damage

    A slow pan of the room and the wall. The app tells you to shut the stopcock first.

  3. 5:31 pm

    Emergency cash released

    Funds for a same-night plumber hit your account before the assessment is finished.

  4. Next morning

    A human takes over

    Structural claims get a real assessor. Yours is booked overnight and named in the app.

Homeowners questions, answered

How much coverage do I actually need on the structure?

Enough to rebuild the house, which is not the same as what you paid for it and not the same as what it would sell for. Land value is a large part of a sale price and land doesn't burn down. We estimate the rebuild cost for you and you can override it.

Does this cover flooding?

No, and no standard homeowners policy anywhere does. Flood is its own product. If you're in or near a flood zone, treat it as a genuine second purchase rather than an upsell.

What if I work from home?

Your laptop and desk are covered as ordinary belongings. Business inventory, client visits, and professional liability are not — if people come to your house for work, tell us and we'll sort out the right endorsement.

Is my home office equipment covered?

Up to the standard belongings limit. If you've got serious kit — a studio, a workshop, a server rack — put it on the valuables rider so it isn't capped at the general limit.

Do I have to buy this through my mortgage lender?

No. Lenders require you to have homeowners insurance, but they don't get to pick the insurer. You can switch to Zestly mid-term and we'll notify your lender for you.

Bundling is the one discount in insurance that isn’t a gimmick — fewer policies to administer costs us less, so it costs you less.
