What a Nassau County homeowners policy covers
A standard homeowners policy (HO-3) bundles several coverages into one. We walk you through each limit before you buy.
Dwelling
The structure of your home, including roof, walls, floors and built-in systems, against fire, wind, hail, theft and other covered causes.
Other structures
Detached garages, sheds and fences, usually up to 10% of your dwelling limit.
Personal property
Furniture, clothing, electronics and other belongings, at home or away.
Loss of use
Hotel, rent and extra living costs if your home can’t be lived in after a covered loss.
Personal liability
Legal and medical costs if someone is hurt on your property or you accidentally damage someone else’s property.
Medical payments
Small medical bills for guests injured at your home, regardless of fault.
Coverage to think about in Nassau County
South Shore flooding
Many South Shore homes flooded during Sandy. Flood insurance is separate and often required.
Windstorm deductibles
Many carriers use a percentage deductible for named storms on Long Island.
Heating oil tanks
Carriers ask about oil tanks, especially buried ones. Some won’t cover older underground tanks.
Pools and yards
More outdoor space means more liability. Most carriers require a fence and gate for pools.
Broker tip: If you heat with oil, know where your tank is and how old it is. An old buried tank can limit which carriers will write your home.

Homeowners insurance questions from Nassau County
Do you insure homes in Nassau County from your Queens office?
Yes. We insure homes throughout Long Island and New York State. Most Nassau clients work with us by phone, email and WhatsApp, and you’re always welcome at our Richmond Hill office.
What is a windstorm or hurricane deductible on Long Island?
Many carriers apply a separate deductible, often 1% to 5% of your dwelling limit, to named-storm damage on Long Island. We show you the dollar amount on every quote so there are no surprises.
Do I need flood insurance on the South Shore?
If you’re in a high-risk zone with a federally backed mortgage, yes. Even outside those zones, many South Shore homes flooded during Sandy, so we recommend getting a quote.
Are underground oil tanks a problem for insurance?
They can be. Some carriers decline homes with older underground tanks or exclude leaks; others accept them with proof of testing. A tank that was properly removed or abandoned, with paperwork, is best.
Can I bundle my Long Island home with my car?
Yes. Bundling home and auto is one of the most common ways to save, and we quote both together.
How much is homeowners insurance in Nassau County?
It depends on the age and construction of the house, rebuild cost, number of families, the age of the roof and systems, claims history, flood and coastal exposure, and the deductible you choose. Because we compare several carriers, we can usually show you more than one price for the same coverage. Call (347) 817-7771 or use our home insurance form for an exact quote.
What’s the difference between an HO-3 and an HO-5 policy?
Both cover your house against all causes of loss except those the policy excludes. An HO-5 also covers your belongings that broadly, usually at replacement cost, so it’s wider coverage and costs more. Not every carrier offers HO-5 on every home.
