Personal Insurance
Homeowners Insurance in Colorado Springs, CO
Homeowners insurance in Colorado Springs is a hail conversation first and everything else second. Percentage wind and hail deductibles, roof payment schedules based on age, and cosmetic damage exclusions have all become common on Front Range policies.
We quote across multiple carriers and walk through those specific terms with you, because two policies at the same premium can leave you tens of thousands of dollars apart after a storm.

Structure
How limits and deductibles get set
Nothing here is a quote or a promise of coverage — every program depends on the carrier, the form issued, and your operation. These are the decisions that usually matter most.
Know your hail deductible in dollars
A 1% or 2% wind and hail deductible on a $600,000 dwelling is $6,000 to $12,000 out of pocket. Convert the percentage before comparing quotes.
Roof settlement terms
Some policies pay replacement cost on roofs of any age; others switch to actual cash value or a payment schedule past a certain age. This is often the single biggest difference between two policies.
Dwelling limit versus market value
The dwelling limit should reflect rebuild cost, which along the Front Range has moved with material and labor pricing — not the price you paid for the house.
Common questions
- Why did my premium jump at renewal even without a claim?
- Widespread hail losses, rising rebuild costs, and reinsurance pricing have driven Colorado home insurance rates up broadly. Remarketing across carriers is the practical response.
- Is wildfire damage covered?
- Fire, including wildfire, is a covered peril on standard homeowners forms. Availability and pricing in higher-risk areas vary by carrier, and mitigation around the property can matter.
- Should I schedule jewelry or firearms?
- If individual items exceed the policy's category sublimits, scheduling them typically provides broader coverage and often a lower or no deductible on that item.
