Home insurance coverage basics
- Coverage A, dwelling: This is the limit that pays to rebuild the structure of your home after a covered loss, and it should match current reconstruction costs in your area.
- Other structures (Coverage B): A detached garage, a shed, a fence, or similar buildings separate from the main house are covered here.
- Coverage C, personal property: This coverage protects furniture, clothing, and everyday belongings inside the home, with special limits that can apply to higher-value categories.
- Loss of use (D): This coverage can help with additional living expenses when a covered claim makes the home temporarily unlivable during repairs.
- Personal liability (Coverage E): It pays when the law holds you responsible for another person’s injury or property damage arising from a covered event.
- Medical payments (F): Medical bills for guests injured on your property, usually handled without any formal claim.

How Clever home insurance premiums differ
Insurers put together a Clever policy quote from several connected factors reviewed together. Expect rebuild cost, roof age and material, and storm and wildfire exposure to move the number most. Deductible choice and claims history can also shift the final price as much as choosing one carrier over another.
Define replacement cost as the price of rebuilding the house using similar materials at today’s labor and material prices. The carrier’s exposure moves with the rebuild estimate, so higher figures for Clever properties tend to mean higher premiums.
Whether walls are frame or masonry, what the roof is made of, and general construction quality all shape how a house performs in the wind, hail, and fire common across Missouri, which is why construction type and roof details carry weight.
Location risk is the reason two comparable houses may not match on price: carriers score storm, hail, wildfire, and crime exposure by ZIP code and neighborhood within Clever.
A better fire protection rating built on hydrant distance, station distance, and protection class can make pricing more competitive.
A recent claim tied to the home or the household can push up the price whether a Clever policy is renewing or new, since claims history still weighs heavily.
Where state rules allow it, companies can use a credit-based insurance score, and a higher score usually means a lower premium.
