Yes, your home insurance covers sudden damage from snow and ice, including roof collapse from heavy snow loads. However, it won't pay for preventive snow removal, and if damage results from poor maintenance—like clogged gutters causing ice dams—your claim could be denied. With Ashtabula County regularly seeing over eight feet of snow annually, make sure your dwelling coverage is adequate for potential winter damage.
Yes, absolutely. Standard homeowners insurance doesn't cover properties you rent out short-term on platforms like Vrbo or Airbnb. You'll need either a landlord policy or specialized vacation rental insurance that covers the commercial activity of renting to guests. Even vacation homes you don't rent out may require different coverage than primary residences due to vacancy concerns.
It's worth considering even if you're not on the shoreline. Standard home insurance excludes all flooding from natural sources, including snowmelt and heavy rain. With Geneva's massive snow loads, spring thaws can cause basement flooding and water damage anywhere in town. Flood insurance is relatively affordable outside high-risk zones and could save you tens of thousands in uncovered damages.
Ohio's average home insurance costs around $1,364 per year for $300,000 in dwelling coverage, which is 40% below the national average. Your actual cost depends on your home's value, age, construction type, your credit score, and what discounts you qualify for. Geneva homeowners can find cheaper rates with carriers like USAA (around $887/year) or State Farm (around $1,196/year).
Only if you maintained reasonable heat in the home. Insurance covers sudden water damage from burst pipes, but if you left a vacation property unheated and the pipes froze, the insurer will likely deny your claim for negligence. If you own a seasonal property in Geneva, either winterize it properly or maintain heat, and tell your insurance company the property is vacant part-time so you have appropriate coverage.
