Most people find out what their home insurance really covers on the worst day possible, standing in the yard after a hailstorm. Freedom First Risk Solutions is an independent agency in Kansas City, Missouri. We go through your policy with you before you need it, so a claim doesn’t come with surprises.
Because we’re independent, we can quote your home with several carriers and compare them on the details that matter here, like roof settlement terms and wind and hail deductibles. If your premium jumped at renewal or your carrier dropped you, we can usually find you a new home.
What Homeowners Insurance Covers
A standard homeowners policy is built from several parts. Here’s what each one pays for:
Coverage | What it pays for |
|---|---|
Dwelling (Coverage A) | Repairing or rebuilding the house itself, including the roof, walls, and attached garage |
Other structures (Coverage B) | Detached garages, sheds, fences, and similar structures on your property |
Personal property (Coverage C) | Your furniture, clothes, electronics, and other belongings |
Loss of use (Coverage D) | Hotel stays, meals, and extra living costs while your home is being repaired |
Personal liability (Coverage E) | Injuries to guests and damage you accidentally cause to someone else’s property |
Medical payments (Coverage F) | Small medical bills for guests hurt on your property, regardless of fault |
Missouri and Kansas don’t require homeowners insurance by law. Your mortgage lender almost certainly does, and it will set a minimum dwelling amount.

It's a separate deductible that applies only to wind and hail claims, often set at 1% or 2% of your dwelling coverage. On a home insured for $350,000, a 2% deductible means you pay the first $7,000.
