Home Coverage for a Fast-Growing Village
Shiloh has grown quickly in recent years, with new subdivisions filling in the land between Scott Air Force Base and the I-64 corridor. Many homes here are newer construction with open floor plans, finished basements, and higher rebuild costs than buyers expect. Others belong to military families on a set timeline who need coverage that's easy to start and easy to adjust. Wilson Insurance Group writes homeowners insurance with those realities in mind. We help you set a replacement cost that reflects today's building prices, explain how wind and hail deductibles work, and look at options like water backup coverage for finished lower levels. You'll compare quotes from several carriers and choose the protection that fits your house and your plans.
Understanding Your Homeowners Insurance Policy
A standard homeowners insurance policy is really several coverages working together. Dwelling coverage pays to repair or rebuild the structure itself. Other structures coverage protects detached garages, sheds, and fences. Personal property covers your furniture, electronics, and clothing, while loss of use helps pay for temporary housing if a covered claim forces you out. Personal liability protects you if a guest is injured on your property or you accidentally damage someone else's. The details matter just as much as the categories. Replacement cost versus actual cash value, separate wind and hail deductibles, and exclusions for flooding or sewer backup can change what a claim pays. Our agents walk through each section with you, compare policies from multiple carriers, and recommend endorsements only when they address a real risk to your home.

What Our Satisfied Customers are Saying
Your Insurance Questions Answered
How much homeowners insurance do I need for a newer home?
Your dwelling coverage should match the cost to rebuild your home at today's labor and material prices, not its market value or purchase price. For newer homes with upgraded kitchens, finished basements, or specialty materials, that number can be higher than expected. Many policies also offer extended replacement cost, which adds a cushion if rebuilding costs spike after a widespread storm.
Does homeowners insurance cover hail and wind damage to my roof?
Most standard homeowners policies cover sudden wind and hail damage, but the payout depends on your policy terms. Some carriers apply a separate percentage deductible for wind and hail, and some pay only actual cash value on older roofs. Reviewing those details before storm season helps you avoid surprises when you file a claim.
Is water backup from a failed sump pump covered by homeowners insurance?
Usually not by default. Water that backs up through drains or overflows from a failed sump pump is typically excluded unless you add a water backup endorsement. If your home has a finished basement with carpet, drywall, or furniture, this relatively low-cost add-on is worth discussing with your agent, since repairs can quickly reach several thousand dollars.
