Your home is likely the largest investment you’ll ever make — it deserves coverage built around it, not a one-size-fits-all policy. As an independent agency, McBane Insurance compares options across multiple top-rated carriers to find the right fit for your home, your budget, and how you actually live in it.
A Local Partner for Ohio Homeowners
Insurance shouldn’t feel like a black box. We walk you through what’s covered, what’s not, and where the gaps typically show up in a standard policy — so there are no surprises after a loss. Because we’re independent, we’re not tied to a single insurer’s product; we shop your home across carriers like Westfield, Cincinnati Insurance, Auto-Owners, Grange, and Progressive to bring back the coverage that actually fits.
Coverage Built Around Your Home
- Dwelling Coverage — protects the structure of your home against fire, wind, hail, and other covered perils.
- Personal Property — covers the contents of your home, from furniture to electronics, against loss or damage.
- Liability Protection — protects you if someone is injured on your property or you’re found responsible for damage to someone else’s.
- Loss of Use / Additional Living Expenses — covers hotel and living costs if your home becomes uninhabitable after a covered loss.
- Water Backup Coverage — protection for damage caused by sewer or drain backup, an exposure many standard policies exclude.
- Scheduled Personal Property — additional coverage for high-value items like jewelry, firearms, or collectibles beyond standard policy limits.
- Personal Umbrella Liability — extra liability protection above your homeowners limits for added peace of mind.
- Multi-Policy Discounts — savings for bundling your home with auto, life, or other coverage.
Choosing the Right Carrier for Your Home
Every carrier prices and underwrites homes differently — location, age of roof, claims history, and construction type all factor in. Rather than presenting a single option, we compare your home across several Ohio-focused carriers and explain the tradeoffs in plain language, so you’re choosing with full information, not just accepting the first quote.

When you call, you get a local agent who knows your area — not a call center reading from a script — and we’re there for you at renewal and when it’s time to file a claim.

Endorsements Worth Adding
We put together a list of best-practice endorsements worth adding to a standard homeowners policy:
- Backup of Sewer & Drain — covers damage from water backing up through sewers or drains, which standard policies typically exclude.
- Equipment Breakdown — covers the cost to repair or replace home systems and appliances, like your furnace, AC, or water heater, if they mechanically or electrically fail.
- Service Line Coverage — covers the underground pipes and wires running to your home, like water, sewer, and electrical lines, if they’re damaged.
- ID Theft / Personal Cyber — helps cover the costs of recovering from identity theft or a cyberattack.
Personal Injury Protection defends you and pays on your behalf if you or someone in your household is accused of causing reputational harm or other non-bodily injury.
There are many other endorsements available. We will help you understand them and add them to your policy for your particular needs.
