What happens when traditional insurance companies won't insure your California home?
That's where the surplus lines market comes in.
These non-admitted carriers can offer another option when standard coverage isn't available. But there's an important difference homeowners need to understand: surplus lines policies don't have the same California guaranty fund protection if the insurer becomes insolvent.
Before choosing a policy, look beyond the premium. Know who's insuring your home.
