Optional Coverages for Kansas

We also offer a variety of optional coverages you can purchase to better protect your home — often at an affordable price. For instance, if you live in Kansas you might want to consider adding coverage for the following.

Kansas Home Insurance for Flooding

Your standard homeowners policy doesn’t cover damage to the structure of your home or your personal property if damaged by flooding. American Family offers flood insurance from the National Flood Insurance Program. This coverage will protect your home and its foundation, your personal belongings and everything else that makes your house a home. Whether you live in a flood zone or not, it’s a good idea to have this coverage.

Properly Protect Your Personal Property

Scheduled personal property coverage, or itemized personal property, is an optional coverage you can add to your homeowners policy that not only provides higher levels of coverage for your higher valued items, but also provides protection against a great number of risks than listed on your policy.

While your homeowners insurance policy provides coverage for your personal property, it’s important to understand there are limits to certain types of belongings. For example, jewelry has a limit of $2,000 for all your jewelry. If the total value of your jewelry is above that amount you may want to itemize your individual jewelry items. Other common personal items that people itemize include collectibles, cameras, art, bicycles, golf equipment and musical instruments.

Ensure that your personal property is properly covered by creating a room by room inventory. Then connect with your agent to discuss what categories you might want to itemize.

Kansas Home Insurance for Matching Vinyl or Metal Siding Coverage

Whether denting the metal siding or blowing the siding right off your home, wind and hail damage is common in Kansas and can cause severe damage to your home. While your homeowners insurance replaces siding damage from specific types of losses, it only covers the parts of your home that are damaged — which can be a bigger deal than you’d think. Particularly if your original siding was discontinued by the siding manufacturer.

Here’s how matching vinyl or metal siding coverage works: Your homeowners policy will begin by covering the cost of replacing the damaged sections. And then if you have undamaged siding coverage, it’ll reimburse you for up to $20,000 of the costs for replacing the remaining undamaged siding so everything matches.
