Homeowners insurance typically covers a range of risks and liabilities. It generally includes coverage for damage to your dwelling, other structures on your property (like a detached garage), personal belongings, liability protection in case someone is injured on your property, and additional living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable due to a covered event. However, specific coverage can vary depending on your policy, so it's essential to review your policy documents and discuss your needs with your insurance agent to ensure you have the right coverage for your situation.

Keep in mind that certain changes may require underwriting approval, and some could result in adjustments to your policy premium.
