    I’ve been with Van Pelt & Son Agency since I moved here in 2022, and I recently had the pleasure of working with Tom. When my other policy came up for renewal with a much higher rate, I reached out to explore more affordable options. Tom was incredibly patient and courteous throughout the entire process. I must have called him a dozen times and sent several emails because questions kept popping into my head, and he was always helpful and responsive. He never made me feel rushed and was always willing to walk me through everything. Thanks to Tom, I was able to find a new policy that worked so much better. I truly appreciate his dedication and excellent customer service. Thank you so much, Tom!

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Tom at Van Pelt & Son, and I'm so happy I did! I was dreading doing the leg work to obtain new home and auto insurance, but with a little info and a few emails, Tom helped me save a lot of money. I highly recommend giving them a call to see what they can do for you.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    How do I know if I have enough homeowners insurance?

    The amount of homeowners insurance you need depends on the cost to rebuild your home, the value of your belongings, and your liability needs. If you’re unsure whether your current policy provides enough protection, Van Pelt & Son Agency, Inc. is happy to help you review your coverage.

    Does homeowners insurance cover storm damage?

    Many homeowners insurance policies cover damage caused by storms, including wind, hail, and lightning. Coverage varies by policy, so homeowners in New Jersey should review their policy to understand what’s covered.

    Can I get homeowners insurance before I buy a house?

    Yes. In fact, most mortgage lenders require homeowners insurance before closing on your home. If you’re buying a home in Middletown, NJ, Van Pelt & Son Agency, Inc. can help you find coverage before your closing date.

    Does homeowners insurance cover my garage?

    In most cases, homeowners insurance covers an attached garage as part of your home’s structure. Detached garages may also be covered, although coverage limits can vary by policy.

    What should I do if my home is damaged?

    If it’s safe to do so, document the damage with photos, take steps to prevent further damage, and contact your insurance company as soon as possible. Keeping records of your repairs and expenses can also help during the claims process.

    Does homeowners insurance cover my belongings outside the home?

    Many homeowners insurance policies provide limited coverage for personal belongings even when they’re away from your home. Coverage limits and exclusions apply, so it’s important to understand what your policy includes.

    Can I change my deductible?

    Yes. Most insurance companies allow you to adjust your deductible when purchasing or renewing your policy. Choosing a higher deductible may lower your premium, while a lower deductible can reduce your out-of-pocket costs after a covered claim.

    What discounts are available for homeowners insurance?

    Many insurance companies offer discounts for bundling policies, installing home security systems, having a newer roof, or maintaining a claims-free history. If you live in Middletown, NJ, Van Pelt & Son Agency, Inc. can help you identify discounts you may qualify for.

    Is homeowners insurance the same for every home?

    No. Every home is different, so homeowners insurance is tailored based on factors like the home’s age, size, location, construction, and the coverage you choose. That’s why it’s important to select a policy that fits your specific needs.

    How do I get a homeowners insurance quote?

    Getting a homeowners insurance quote is simple. You’ll typically need basic information about your home, including its age, size, and location. If you’re in Middletown, NJ, the team at Van Pelt & Son Agency, Inc. can provide a personalized quote and help you compare your coverage options.
