Home insurance protects homeowners against losses and damages to their property and possessions due to issues like fires, storms, water damage, and theft. Policies typically cover the structure, personal property, loss of use, personal liability, and medical payments.
The company notes that along with the rising cost of building materials, recent high inflation has led to contractor work becoming considerably more expensive. The home improvement industry is also experiencing a shortage of skilled labor, with half a million unfilled construction roles nationwide last year according to the Associated Builders and Contractors - driving costs higher for repairs and rebuilds covered by insurance policies.
The rise in major natural disasters over the past year has also put pressure on home insurance pricing, according to White Oak Insurance Services. There were 18 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disaster events in 2022 that led to considerable insured losses.
