What Is Dwelling Insurance? How is it Different from Home Insurance?
“Home sweet home” is often used to describe the feeling of being at home. However, when it comes to insurance, specialty dwelling insurance and homeowners insurance are essentially the same thing. Homeowners insurance is a comprehensive insurance policy that covers your home, and dwelling insurance is a part of that policy that specifically covers the physical structure of the building, rather than the land or surrounding structures.
Sometimes, a separate specialty dwelling insurance policy may be used for unoccupied properties, such as rental properties that are not in use, vacation homes, or incomplete dwellings.
If you’re unsure about whether you need more dwelling coverage, you can call G&G’s insurance agents for guidance.
What is Covered by
Specialty Dwelling Insurance?
Dwelling insurance protects your home and any attached structures, such as garages or patios. It typically covers the built-in contents and appliances, including water heaters, light fixtures, cupboards, and counters.
This type of insurance helps cover damage to these areas from events like:
- Theft
- Vandalism
- Fire and Smoke
- Heavy Winds and Hail
- Explosions (excluding terrorism)
- Falling Objects
- Lightning Strikes
- Snow, Sleet, or Ice Damage
- Burst Pipes
- Motor Vehicle Collisions
With dwelling insurance, you can ensure your home and its essential components are protected from a wide range of potential risks.
What Does Dwelling Insurance Not Cover?
Dwelling insurance protects the parts of your home that are attached to, or built into, your main building. It does not cover structures like:
- Fences
- Unattached garages or sheds
- Pools
- Guest houses not attached to the main home
- Barns
- Land
Some perils are also excluded, similar to standard homeowners policies. These include:
- Floods
- Earthquakes
- Sewer backups
- Damage from lack of maintenance
- Sinkholes
Review your policy to know what’s covered and what’s not. Dwelling insurance can be customized, and policies have limits and deductibles.

What Types of Dwelling Insurance Are Available?
The type of specialty dwelling insurance coverage you have almost always corresponds to the type of dwelling you live in.
If you own a home of your own, specialty dwelling insurance is covered in your homeowners insurance. If you own a condominium, you need dwelling coverage that covers the areas of your condo that fall under your responsibility. The flooring, interior walls, and built-in appliances are two areas you may need coverage for, while the actual structure itself should be covered by your association’s master policy.
If you’re renting, you don’t need dwelling insurance and should instead look into renters’ insurance. Dwelling insurance is the responsibility of your landlord.
How Much Dwelling Coverage Do I Need?
The amount of dwelling coverage you need depends on the cost of rebuilding your home. When your house is assessed for market value, you’re given a number that indicates what your home is worth in terms of buying. The cost to completely rebuild your home if it were to be destroyed is often a very different number.
You must consider the cost of materials and labor required to rebuild your home using similar materials to what is currently present. Many insurance companies can help you calculate this cost so that you don’t have to figure it out on your own.

Properties in areas prone to natural disasters or with higher crime rates can cost more to insure.
Coverage Level
More comprehensive coverage, such as protection for additional structures, will increase your premium.
Building Materials
Homes made from more durable materials may cost less to insure.
Age of Property
Older properties may have higher premiums due to the increased likelihood of damage or maintenance needs.
