Home insurance built for Richmond Hill houses
Richmond Hill homes come in many shapes, and each needs the right policy:
Older and historic houses
Many homes north of Jamaica Avenue are early-1900s frame houses. Insurers look at roof, wiring, plumbing and heating updates, and rebuilding with matching materials can cost more. We make sure your dwelling limit covers a real rebuild.
Two-family homes with a tenant
Renting out a floor or basement apartment is common here. Your insurer needs to know, and you want liability that protects you if a tenant or visitor is injured. If you don’t live in the house, you need a landlord policy.
Basements and water
Heavy storms can back up sewers into basements in South Richmond Hill and Ozone Park. Water and sewer backup coverage is an inexpensive add-on we recommend for most homes. True flooding needs a separate flood policy.
Jewelry and valuables
Gold and wedding jewelry often exceed a standard policy’s theft limit. Scheduling them gives full protection.

Richmond Hill homeowners questions
Do you insure two-family houses in Richmond Hill?
Yes. Owner-occupied two-family homes are one of the most common policies we write. If you don’t live in the house, we’ll quote a landlord policy instead.

Yes. Our office at 123-07 Jamaica Ave is open Monday–Friday, 9 am–5 pm. You can also do everything by phone, WhatsApp and our client portal.
Do I need flood insurance in Richmond Hill?
It depends on your location and flood zone. Many Richmond Hill homes are outside high-risk zones, but basements can still take water. We’ll check your address and explain sewer backup and flood options.
Can you insure my home and car together?
Yes. We insure homes, personal cars, TLC vehicles and businesses, and can look for multi-policy discounts.
