Home Insurance in Franklin Square, NY


Your house is almost certainly the biggest thing you will ever insure. We build one profile, rate it across 30+ carriers in a single pass, and set the dwelling limit to what it would actually cost to rebuild — not what Zillow says it is worth.

83 Franklin Ave, Franklin Square, NY 11010 · Office Mon–Fri 9–5

The Number That Matters Most

Coverage A — the dwelling limit — is the figure a carrier would have to write a check for if the house burned down. It has nothing to do with market value or what you paid.

Rebuild Cost, Not Market Value

Market value includes the land, which does not burn. Rebuild cost is materials and labor at today's prices. On Long Island those two numbers are rarely close, and getting this wrong is the most common problem we find on policies people bring us.

The Other Four Letters

B covers detached structures like a garage or shed, C covers your belongings, D pays your living expenses if the house is uninhabitable, and E is your personal liability if someone is hurt on the property.

Older Nassau County Housing Stock

A lot of homes around Franklin Square were built decades ago. Carriers ask about the age of the roof, the electrical panel, the heating system and the plumbing — and several will not quote at all past certain ages. Knowing which ones will is the job.

Flood Is a Separate Policy

No homeowners policy in the country covers rising water. On Long Island that matters more than most places. We write both NFIP and private flood.

Common Questions

Does my homeowners policy cover flooding?
No. Flood is excluded from every standard homeowners policy and has to be bought separately, through the NFIP or a private flood carrier. We write both, and on coastal Long Island it is worth pricing even outside a mapped high-risk zone.
Can you bundle my home and auto?
Yes, and it is usually one of the largest single discounts available. We quote both at once and show you the bundled and unbundled numbers so you can see what the bundle is actually worth.
I am closing on a house. How fast can you get me a binder?
Same day in most cases. Send us the address, the closing date and the lender information, and we will get a binder to your attorney or lender. Call the office if the closing is imminent.
My carrier just raised my renewal. Can you do anything?
Send us the renewal notice and the declarations page. We re-shop it across our carriers and come back with real numbers. If the increase is market-wide and your current policy is still the best option, we will say so.
