California Homeowners Insurance
Mercury Insurance believes every homeowner in California deserves solid protection. That's why we offer a range of options for homeowners insurance. Mercury has local agents available all across the Golden State, so we can guarantee that we'll find the right policies with your best interests in mind.
The Right Coverage for California Homeowners
When choosing Mercury, you're not only getting one of America's best homeowners insurance providers but a California home-grown company. Mercury began selling insurance in California in 1962, so we understand this great state better than any other insurance company.
Thanks to our local agents who work with you to structure your custom plan, you'll feel safe knowing we understand your specific location. A home in Joshua Tree can be exposed to temperatures reaching 105 Fahrenheit. Yet, Northern California can see temperatures as low as 25 degrees Fahrenheit. A homeowner in San Diego might not be as worried about the San Andreas fault line as much as a homeowner in Daly City. All these conditions can drastically change the structure of your home and the necessity of certain protections. That's why you should talk to a local Mercury agent who understands the risks and potential dangers around your California home.
The Public Policy Institute of California reported that of all the state’s reported property crimes in 2021, 63% were larceny thefts, 16% were burglaries, and 21% were auto thefts. We want to protect you not only from weather damage and natural disasters but also property theft. That’s why our insurance coverage offers a wide range of options. Here are a few that we offer:
Dwelling Protection

Covers damage to your home — e.g., the foundation, walls, roof, etc. — caused by a covered peril, such as a fire, storm, or hail.

What does 100% replacement cost mean?
Mercury requires that you insure the full replacement value of your home in order to get complete coverage after a covered loss. The replacement cost value is the estimated amount it would cost to rebuild your home, which does not include the value of the land. This differs from the market value, which is the amount a buyer would be willing to pay for your home, including the value of the land.
Does Home Insurance Cover Everything in a Fire?
Homeowners insurance typically provides protection for your home and its items if they’re damaged in a fire. These fires can be accidental like a cooking fire or natural like a wildfire.
Does California Require Home Insurance?
No, California doesn’t require homeowners insurance, but mortgage lenders might require you to carry coverage so you can get a loan.
Does California Home Insurance Cover Water Damage and Flood Damage?
Homeowners insurance usually covers water damage that results from a sudden or accidental leak in the home, such as a burst pipe or malfunctioning appliance. That said, homeowners insurance doesn’t cover flood damage. You must get a separate flood insurance policy to protect your home from this specific peril.
