  • What does homeowners insurance in New Orleans typically cover?

    Homeowners insurance in New Orleans usually covers your home’s structure, personal belongings, liability protection, and temporary living expenses if your home becomes uninhabitable. Policies may vary, but coverage typically includes damage from fire, theft, and windstorms. However, standard policies do not cover flooding—which is common in this region. That’s why pairing your home policy with a separate flood insurance plan is so important in Louisiana.

  • Is flood insurance required in Kenner, LA?

    Flood insurance is required in many parts of Kenner, especially if your home or business is located in a high-risk flood zone. Lenders often mandate it as part of mortgage requirements in FEMA-designated floodplains. Even outside these zones, Kenner properties remain vulnerable due to heavy rain and rising water levels. We help you determine your risk and find affordable coverage that meets both personal and lender requirements.

  • How much does flood insurance cost in New Orleans, LA?

Many of our clients are surprised by how affordable basic flood protection can be. Getting a custom quote is the best way to understand your actual cost.

  • What’s the difference between homeowners insurance and flood insurance in Louisiana?

    Homeowners insurance typically protects against risks like fire, theft, wind, and liability—but it does not cover damage from rising water or flooding. In Louisiana, flood insurance is essential due to the state’s low-lying geography and frequent storms. Both policies work together to fully protect your property. We’ll explain how to layer them for complete peace of mind.
