Your Wind & Hail Deductible Is a Percentage of Your Home's Value — Here's How to Cover It (Tennessee)
More Tennessee carriers are switching to 1%–2% wind and hail deductibles, which can mean $10,000–$20,000 out of pocket on a higher-value home. A newer standalone coverage can help pay that deductible — or fund a roof — whether or not you file a home claim.

Tennessee sits on the New Madrid and East Tennessee seismic zones, standard homeowners policies exclude earthquakes, and almost no one buys the coverage. Here's the honest math on cost, deductibles, and whether it's worth it.

Standard homeowners policies exclude sinkholes — but Tennessee law requires every home insurer to offer sinkhole coverage on request. Here's why it's missing from most policies, who needs it, and how to add it.
Your 1% Deductible Isn't 1% of the Claim — It's 1% of Your Home. Here's What That Means
A percentage deductible is based on your home's dwelling limit, not your claim — so a 1% deductible can be $3,000 on a modest home or $13,000 on a higher-value one. Here's how it works, why it keeps rising, and what to do about it.
Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Storm, Wind & Hail Roof Damage in Tennessee?

Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Flooding in Tennessee?
No — every standard homeowners policy in Tennessee excludes flood. Flood is separate coverage, it takes 30 days to start, and most Tennessee flood damage happens to people who were told they didn't need it. Here's the line between 'water damage' (covered) and 'flood' (not), and what to do about it.

An honest look at how car insurers check your driving record — when they pull it, when they don't, and why the timing of when you shop matters more than most drivers realize.
SR-22 Insurance in Tennessee: What It Is, Who Needs It, and How to Keep It Cheap
