“Both can be great options — either one could offer you solid coverage at an affordable price. You just need to do some comparison shopping. It never hurts to get insurance quotes from as many companies as possible when you are building a new home!
If you are able to compare quotes from two or more companies, you will be better informed about the coverage that each policy provides and at what cost. It’s also a good idea to check consumer reviews for each company/insurance agent before deciding who you want to place your insurance with.
