Home Insurance in Maine
Covers the structure of your home, your belongings, and your liability as a homeowner. What it does not cover — flood, earth movement, wear and tear — is as important as what it does.
What is different in Maine
Maine requires uninsured motorist coverage at liability limits and carries the country's joint-highest bodily injury minimum. Ice damming and frozen pipe losses dominate winter claim frequency, and coastal properties face both named-storm deductibles and separate flood exposure.
