    Home Insurance Add-Ons That May Further Protect You

    Although California and Washington often experience moderate to severe seismic activity, Oregon hasn’t suffered a major earthquake since 1949, according to the United States Geological Survey. Nonetheless, some Oregon homeowners may want to consider purchasing earthquake insurance, particularly those living in northwest Oregon, near Mount St. Helens, one of the most seismically active volcanoes in the Cascades.

    In the past century, Oregon has experienced several catastrophic floods, including the 1996 flood, which caused major damage along the Tualatin and Willamette Rivers. Typically, standard home insurance policies don’t cover flood damage to your home’s structure or your personal belongings. Homeowners who live in flood prone areas should add flood insurance to their coverage.

    Homeowners Insurance FAQ

    Methodology

    We evaluated the companies based on their third-party agency ratings for customer experience, financial stability, as well as coverage options to determine which might be the best providers. 

    To compare home insurance companies across the board, we considered the following factors:

    • Customer Ratings — Customer ratings are an indication of satisfaction with the process of filing a claim. We measured this using J.D. Power Homeowners Satisfaction ratings.
    • Coverage — As there isn’t one company to fit everyone’s needs, we evaluated companies by the amount of coverage options and add-ons available. 
    • Confidence — It is extremely important for insurance companies to fulfill customers’ claims. Companies with sound financial strength will not have issues paying out claims, regardless of the amount. However, companies with weak financial strength might not be able to pay out claims. We measured this using AM Best’s ratings, which specializes in assessing the financial strength of insurance companies.
    • Customer Experience — The amount of complaints a company receives is an indicator of the overall customer experience as it expresses dissatisfaction. We have based this measure on the NAIC National Complaint Index.

    Rates are based on quoted annual premiums from Bankrate.com. These are sample rates and should be used for comparative purposes only. Your quotes may be different.

    The coverage limits for home insurance rates reflect the following coverage and limits:

    • Coverage A, Dwelling: $250,000
    • Coverage B, Other Structures: $25,000
    • Coverage C, Personal Property: $125,000
    • Coverage D, Loss of Use: $50,000
    • Coverage E, Liability: $300,000
    • Coverage F, Medical Payments: $1,000

    The homeowners also have a $1,000 deductible and a separate wind and hail deductible (if required).
