Wilmington sits directly in the Atlantic hurricane corridor, and coastal North Carolina homes typically carry higher wind and named-storm deductibles than inland markets. Flood insurance is a separate policy from standard homeowners coverage — a distinction worth understanding before hurricane season, not after.
Protect your home's structure against fire, wind, hail, theft, and falling objects based on localized replacement cost estimates across Wilmington's neighborhoods, from downtown historic homes to coastal new construction near Landfall.
Private and NFIP-backed flood insurance options designed to protect homes in mapped floodplains and coastal high-hazard areas near the Cape Fear River, the Intracoastal Waterway, and New Hanover County's tidal creeks.
Tailored peril coverage designed to manage separate named-storm and wind/hail deductibles — often a percentage of dwelling value rather than a flat dollar amount — compliant with North Carolina coastal insurance regulations.
Extended liability protection safeguarding your personal assets against property injury claims or lawsuits occurring on your Wilmington premises.
