Is there anything in or on my property that isn't fully covered by home insurance?

My wife and I are trying to determine how much insurance we need for our home and belongings. What are some things that aren't fully covered?

Answer

Most homeowners insurance companies have limits on the amount of coverage that’s provided for jewelry, watches, furs, artworks, and tools. To make sure these high-value items are fully insured, you’ll want to provide your insurance company with an appraisal so the full value can be scheduled on the policy.
