Who has the best homeowners insurance?

The odds of filing a homeowners insurance claim can feel small, at least when compared to our car that we drive on a daily basis. But your home is at risk, too. Whether it's a water damage claim, an injury to a third-party, a break-in or damage from a natural disaster, there are unfortunately plenty of potential reasons to file a claim with your homeowners insurance company. In the event that time comes, don't you want to feel confident you've protected your home with one of the best homeowners insurance companies?

To give you more confidence in your homeowners insurance, we have reviews and rankings for hundreds of homeowners insurance companies so you can evaluate and compare the best home insurance companies. In the table above, you can sort through every homeowners insurance company ranked on Clearsurance. Next to each insurer you'll find the company's rating, which is based exclusively on the reviews and ratings provided by customers. Note: Only those companies with at least 25 homeowners insurance reviews are eligible to appear in the best homeowners insurance rankings. You can find top rated companies on J.D. Power and small, local companies. It's all about finding the company that best suits your needs.

If you're looking for additional information on one of the best homeowners insurance companies, you can visit the company's profile page where you'll learn about the company, additional coverages and potential discounts offered. You can also read reviews to see what other policyholders have to say about the home insurance company.

Who offers the best homeowners insurance rates for a $200K home?

When looking for the best homeowners insurance company — and doing your best to avoid the worst home insurance companies — you're probably hoping to find a company that also offers the best homeowners insurance rates. Given the many factors that insurance companies consider when pricing a home insurance policy, we can't provide exact rates you'll pay with each company. In order to figure out what your homeowners rates will be, you'll need to get a formal quote from each company you're considering.

However, we have provided the average homeowners insurance rates for a $200K home from seven of the largest companies in the United States. Nationwide has the best homeowners insurance rates, on average for a $200,000 home, out of a group of eight of the largest home insurance companies in the country. Annual home insurance from Nationwide costs an average of $989 per year, followed by Allstate at $1,096 per year. This is for $200,000 in dwelling coverage to rebuild your home in the event of a total loss. Generally, this comes with a modest amount of personal property coverage and other coverage depending on the property type.

The replacement costs have doubled for dwelling coverage, and the common threats remain about the same.

For a $400,000 home, State Farm offers the best homeowners insurance rates on average at $1,864 per year. USAA, Nationwide and Allstate all have similar national average homeowners insurance rates. Of course, insurance costs for the same house can vary widely based on your state and zip code. Your annual premium may also change if you've filed a recent claim.

How much should you pay for homeowners insurance?

The cost of homeowners insurance depends on many factors including where you live, your claims history, and how much your home is worth. In the table below, we’ve listed average homeowners insurance rates in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., for a $200,000 home and a $400,000 home. Of course, rates can vary even within the same city or state. so t

While these average homeowners insurance rates can provide a helpful baseline, home insurance rates can vary significantly depending on where you live in the state and which company you purchase insurance from.

Take a $200,000 home in Florida, for instance. A home along the coast is likely going to cost significantly more to insure than a home in the center of the state because of the higher risk of hurricanes and damage along the coast.

What are the best homeowners insurance companies for claims service?

While we all hope to never need to file a homeowners insurance claim, in the event you do, you want peace of mind that it'll be handled efficiently and properly. But without having had a claim with a company before, how can you know which are best at servicing claims? That's where our reviews and ratings can help.

We've compiled the homeowners claims rating for the top 10 companies that have at least 100 reviews from homeowners who've filed a claim with the company. Of these companies, USAA has the highest claims service rating at 4.71 out of 5. Erie Insurance has the next highest claims service rating at 4.36 out of 5.

What does the best homeowners insurance cover?

Homeowners insurance generally covers your dwelling, your personal property, other structures on your personal property and liability. Additionally, a standard homeowners insurance policy also often offers protection for loss of use and medical payments to others.

What your homeowners insurance policy covers can vary by state, by company and by what type of policy you select, so it's hard to generally say what home insurance covers.

Nonetheless, here's a rundown of what perils a standard homeowners insurance policy generally covers. These are the 16 types of perils that are usually found in a homeowners insurance policy.

  1. Theft
  2. Fire or lightning
  3. Hail or windstorm
  4. Explosion
  5. Riots or civil commotion
  6. Damage caused by aircraft
  7. Damage caused by vehicles
  8. Smoke
  9. Vandalism or malicious mischief
  10. Falling objects
  11. Volcanic eruption
  12. Weight of ice, snow, or sleet
  13. Overflow or accidental discharge of steam or water from an appliance, heating, plumbing, air conditioning, or automatic fire-protective sprinkler system
  14. Sudden and accidental tearing apart, cracking, burning, or bulging of a steam or hot water heating system, an air conditioning or automatic fire-protective system
  15. Freezing of a heating, air conditioning, plumbing, or automatic, fire-protective sprinkler system, or of a household appliance
  16. Sudden and accidental damage from an artificially generated electrical current (not including loss to a tube, transistor, or similar electronic component)

Given that the coverage you need to protect your home and property can vary based on your individual needs, it's important to talk with an insurance agent or company before selecting your policy. Once you've narrowed down the list of companies you're considering from these rankings of the best homeowners insurance companies, talk with an agent or company to find the right policy for you.

What does the best homeowners insurance not cover?

Homeowners insurance policies don't cover all perils. Home insurance typically does not cover flood damage caused by weather-related flooding. What does this mean? If your town experiences flooding during a severe storm and your basement ends up with a few inches of water and your washer and dryer are destroyed, a standard homeowners insurance policy likely won't cover that damage.

However, some water damage is covered by home insurance. For example, if a pipe bursts in your basement and destroys your washer and dryer, your homeowners policy likely will cover that as it's a named peril.

So outside of flood damage, what else does homeowners insurance not cover? Homeowners insurance also usually doesn't cover earthquakes, damage from neglect, power failures, sinkholes, bed bugs, termites, mold (in some cases) and war.

How can you get protection from these events? In some cases, you can purchase an additional policy to protect you from these disasters. You can buy flood insurance or earthquake insurance to cover from the disasters that aren't usually covered by homeowners insurance.

State Farm is the most popular home insurance company choice among homeowners, with more than 18 percent of homeowners around the country having a policy with State Farm. Allstate and Liberty Mutual rank second and third in most popular. Below is a look at the 10 largest homeowners insurance companies in the U.S. by market share.

Keep in mind that just because a company has significant market share doesn't mean they provide the best customer service or the best price. It's important to consider all factors when making a decision on who to buy your homeowners insurance from.

Allstate 8.4%
Liberty Mutual 6.9%

How can you get the best deal on homeowners insurance?

There’s no sense in paying more money on your homeowners insurance than you need to, right? So what are the top ways to lower your homeowners insurance rates with one of the best homeowners insurance companies?

Here’s a list of the top five ways you can lower your homeowners insurance rates:

  1. Bundle your homeowners insurance with other types of coverage insurance products, such as an auto insurance policy. Auto policies are probably the most-often bundled with homeowners insurance policies, but some insurers have other options, such as life insurance.
  2. Raise your homeowners insurance deductible
  3. Consider changing your level of coverage
  4. Install home safety features to your house
  5. If you’ve been claim-free, shop for a good deal

Speaking of shopping for a good deal, it's important to obtain insurance quotes from multiple companies. While the rates we listed above for your state and some companies provide a range of what you should be expecting, everyone has different rates. In order to get the best deal on your homeowners insurance, it pays to shop around.

Here are three ways you can compare homeowners insurance prices:

  1. Request quotes directly from companies. You can either take advantage of online quoting capabilities or speak to an insurance representative.
  2. Find a local independent insurance agent who can get quotes from multiple companies they represent.
  3. Use an online seller that can provide comparative quotes from multiple companies.

Once you've identified the best deal, make sure you verify that the company has a strong reputation for customer service and claims handling by checking out their profile page and reading reviews.

How best homeowners insurance rates are calculated

Ever wonder why you pay what you do for home insurance? Some things may be obvious, like the age of your home. But other factors that contribute to the price of homeowners insurance may not be as obvious. Here's a list of some of the things homeowners insurance companies consider when quoting you a rate:

  • The level of coverage required
  • The size of your mortgage
  • Your credit score (in some states)
  • The square footage of your home
  • The geographic location of your home
  • The condition of your home
  • The age of your home
  • The proximity of your home to a fire station
  • Your previous claims record
  • The amount of your deductible
  • Optional add-ons like umbrella insurance

Zillow estimates that homeowners can expect to pay approximately $35 each month for every $100,000 of your home's value.

Before you make your choice, ask questions, find out about exclusions and estimates for repairs or replacement of high-value items. Make sure you're covered from damage from flooding if you're in a flood plane or earthquake damage if you live somewhere that is prone to that.
