Homeowners insurance in Michigan isn’t a commodity โ the difference between a good policy and a cheap one shows up the day you have a claim. A local Livonia agent shopping your risk across 15+ carriers usually beats the online-only carriers on price and on coverage detail.
What we quote inside your Michigan homeowners policy
- Dwelling (Coverage A) โ priced at rebuild cost, not market value. Michigan build costs have moved a lot post-2020; if your policy hasn’t been re-rated in 3+ years, this number is likely wrong.
- Other structures, personal property, loss of use โ the standard “letter” coverages, tuned to your home.
- Personal liability & medical payments โ start at $300K/$500K; we’ll walk you through umbrella if the value or exposure warrants.
- Water backup endorsement โ Livonia and surrounding cities see enough sewer-backup claims that this is almost always worth the small add-on.
- Service line coverage โ for the water, sewer, and electrical lines running to your house. Not standard on most carriers; we add it where available.
- Ordinance or law โ critical for older homes that would need to be brought up to current code after a covered loss.
Michigan homeowner risks we ask about
- Wind & hail deductibles โ some carriers have moved to percentage deductibles in Michigan. We check.
- Sump-pump / basement finish โ how much finished square footage below grade, and whether the backup pump is on a separate limit.
- Roof age & material โ the single biggest underwriting variable. Some carriers now only offer actual cash value on roofs over 10 years old.
- Wood-burning appliances, trampolines, pools, dogs โ standard underwriting questions but each has real coverage implications.
