This coverage will compensate one for most, if not all, of the expense to repair or replace the dwelling if some kind of covered loss were to occur. Examples of losses include fire, localized flooding, damage from a wind storm, theft, vandalism, or other related incidents. Some coverage will specifically not apply to some excluded events listed in the policy details, while others will only include protection for specifically listed perils.
