Home Insurance
PEMCO offers a variety of home insurance coverages. PEMCO's agents will make sure there aren’t any gaps in your protection for your home and your possessions.
Available coverages and discounts may vary by state, but will most likely include:
- Dwelling coverage: Covers the repair or replacement costs of your home if it’s damaged or destroyed by fire, smoke, storms, explosion, vandalism, burglary, and burst pipes. Dwelling coverage does not cover floods, earthquakes, or normal wear and tear. PEMCO includes sewer backup coverage up to $5,000 with this coverage.
- Personal property coverage: Covers all of the belongings in your home such as furniture, appliances, clothing, jewelry, furs, computers, etc. It also covers items you take with you on vacation or for travel.
- Replacement cost coverage: Covers the replacement cost of your belongings if they’re stolen or damaged. This coverage will reimburse you with the amount those items are priced as today, not what you originally paid for them.
- Other structures coverage: Covers damages to repair or rebuild other structures on your property such as a detached garage, shed, or treehouse.
PEMCO also offers earthquake insurance as a separate policy.

Umbrella insurance increases your liability protection limits beyond the limits set for your auto, home, and boat insurance policies. Your umbrella policy will kick in once the cost of damages exceeds your individual policy limits.
You can buy umbrella insurance at limits of $1 million, $2 million, or $3 million.

- Replacement coverage for personal belongings: Covers up to $500 for replacing unrelated items like clothing and sporting equipment while aboard your boat.

Most Critical Review
October 24, 2018
While pleased w/PEMCO's cheap rates, the fiasco that passed as "service" for towing my dead car {22 miles from Portland, OR to an outlying small town} last Sat. afternoon was so disappointing I am determined to change companies.
