Compare Home Insurance From Multiple Carriers
Lavon Insurance is an independent insurance agency, which means we are not limited to offering homeowners coverage from only one insurance company.
Multiple Insurance Companies
We can compare available homeowners insurance options from multiple carriers based on your property and coverage needs.
Local North Texas Service
We understand the weather, construction and property risks homeowners face in Lavon and surrounding North Texas communities.
Coverage Beyond Price
The least expensive policy is not always the right policy. We can help you compare limits, deductibles and important coverage differences.
How We Compare Home Insurance for You
Comparing homeowners insurance on your own means filling out the same details over and over. As an independent agency, we collect your information once and compare available carriers for you.
Learn the home
We start with the house itself: age, roof, construction, square footage, updates and anything on the property such as a pool, shop or fence.
Set the right limits
We estimate rebuild cost, not market value, and talk through belongings, liability and the deductibles you are comfortable with.
Shop multiple carriers
We compare available policies side by side, including how each one handles roof claims, wind and hail deductibles and optional coverages.
Review it together
We explain the differences in plain English, help you bind the policy and send proof to your lender if you have a mortgage.
Your current declarations page (if you have one), the year your roof was replaced, the approximate square footage, any recent updates (roof, plumbing, electrical, HVAC) and your closing date if you are buying.
What Does Homeowners Insurance Cover?
A homeowners policy typically combines property protection with personal liability coverage. Exact protection depends on the policy form, endorsements, limits and exclusions.
Coverage A – Dwelling
Coverage A generally protects the physical structure of your home, including components such as walls, roof and attached structures, against covered causes of loss.
Coverage B – Other Structures
Coverage B generally applies to structures on the property that are separated from the house, such as detached garages, fences and storage sheds.
Coverage C – Personal Property
Personal property coverage helps protect belongings such as furniture, clothing, electronics and other covered possessions, subject to policy limits and exclusions.
Coverage D – Loss of Use
If a covered loss makes your home temporarily uninhabitable, loss-of-use coverage may help pay qualifying additional living expenses while repairs are completed.
Coverage E – Personal Liability
Personal liability coverage may help protect you when you are legally responsible for certain bodily injury or property damage claims.
Coverage F – Medical Payments
Medical payments coverage can help pay certain medical expenses when a guest is injured, subject to the policy’s terms and limits.
Home Insurance for North Texas Weather Risks
North Texas homeowners face weather exposures that make coverage details and deductibles especially important.
Hail & Severe Storms
Hail and severe thunderstorms can cause significant roof, siding, window and exterior property damage.
Wind & Tornadoes
Windstorms and tornadoes can result in major property damage, making it important to understand wind and hail deductibles and policy limitations.
Rising Repair Costs
Construction labor and material costs can affect the amount of dwelling coverage needed to rebuild your home after a major covered loss.
Severe weather around Lavon, by the numbers

Wind and Hail Deductibles, Roofs and Flood
With this much hail, the deductible and roof terms in a Texas policy often matter as much as the premium.
How a percentage deductible works
Many Texas policies set the wind and hail deductible as a percentage of your dwelling limit rather than a flat dollar amount.
| Dwelling coverage (Coverage A) | $350,000 |
| Wind/hail deductible | 2% |
| You pay before coverage applies | $7,000 |
Ask about a deductible buyback if a percentage deductible is more than you would want to pay after a storm.
Roof terms and flood coverage
Roof age matters. Some carriers pay roof claims at replacement cost, while others pay actual cash value (depreciated) once a roof reaches a certain age. Two quotes with similar prices can pay very differently after a hail storm. See how roof age plays out in our North Texas Home Insurance Guide.
Standard homeowners policies generally exclude flood damage. Our tracker logged 67 flood-related warnings within 30 miles of Lavon in 2026 alone. Flood insurance is a separate policy, and coverage usually has a waiting period before it starts, so ask about it before you need it.
Replacement Cost Is Not the Same as Market Value
Homeowners insurance generally focuses on the estimated cost to repair or rebuild the structure, not the home’s real estate market value. Land value, neighborhood demand and other real estate factors do not directly represent rebuilding cost.
An adequate dwelling limit should consider construction costs, materials, labor and the home’s characteristics. We can help review the replacement-cost estimate used when quoting your homeowners policy.

Dwelling policies →Rental properties
Renting out a house, duplex or fourplex? Landlord insurance covers the building, lost rent and your liability as the owner.
Landlord insurance →Manufactured and mobile homes
Manufactured homes on land around Lavon Lake and in rural Collin and Hunt counties have their own coverage options.
Mobile home insurance →Condos and townhomes
Condo policies cover what the HOA master policy doesn’t, such as interior finishes, belongings and personal liability.
Condo insurance →Renters

Renters insurance →Extra liability protection
An umbrella policy adds liability limits above your home and auto policies, which is useful for pools, teen drivers and growing assets.
Umbrella insurance →Hail deductible help
A percentage wind and hail deductible can mean thousands out of pocket. Deductible coverage pays cash after a qualifying storm.

Texas Home Insurance FAQs
What does homeowners insurance cover in Texas?
Homeowners policies commonly include coverage for the dwelling, other structures, personal property, loss of use, personal liability and certain medical payments. Exact coverage depends on the policy form, endorsements, exclusions and limits.
How much home insurance do I need?
The appropriate amount depends on factors such as the estimated cost to rebuild the home, personal property, liability needs and the amount of risk you are comfortable retaining through deductibles.
Is home insurance based on the value of my house?
Not exactly. Dwelling coverage is generally based on the estimated cost to repair or rebuild the home rather than its real estate market value.
Does homeowners insurance cover hail damage?
Many homeowners policies provide coverage for hail damage, subject to the policy’s terms, exclusions and applicable wind or hail deductible. Coverage should always be reviewed for the specific policy.
Can Lavon Insurance compare home insurance companies?
Yes. Lavon Insurance is an independent insurance agency and can compare available homeowners insurance options from multiple carriers, subject to underwriting eligibility.
Is Lavon Insurance an insurance broker?
Lavon Insurance is an independent insurance agency. Consumers sometimes search for an insurance broker when they are looking for an insurance professional who can compare options from multiple companies. As an independent agency, Lavon Insurance can help homeowners compare available carrier options.
Can I bundle my home and auto insurance?
Many insurance companies offer multi-policy discounts when eligible home and auto policies are placed with the same carrier. Discount availability varies by company and risk.
What is a percentage wind and hail deductible?
It is a deductible calculated as a percentage of your dwelling coverage instead of a flat dollar amount. For example, a 2% wind and hail deductible on a home insured for $350,000 means you would pay the first $7,000 of a covered wind or hail claim.
Does homeowners insurance cover flooding in North Texas?
Standard homeowners policies generally exclude flood damage. Flood coverage is purchased as a separate policy, and there is usually a waiting period before it takes effect, so it is best to ask about it before storm season.
