Coverage built for South Carolina homes

Your home deserves coverage that matches life in the Upstate.

From downtown Greenville to Travelers Rest and Simpsonville, we explain options clearly and tailor protection to your address.

Coverage Details

What a strong home policy includes

A standard HO-3 policy can cover:



  • Dwelling coverage to repair or rebuild after fire, wind, hail, or other covered losses—calculated to today’s costs, not just tax value.
  • Personal property for furniture, electronics, clothing, and more, with replacement cost options.
  • Liability protection if someone is hurt on your premises, plus coverage for certain off-premises incidents.
  • Additional living expenses if a covered loss makes your home unlivable, paying for lodging and meals while repairs happen.


Ask our team how endorsements can fine-tune these protections for Greenville’s weather, construction type, or neighborhood risks.

Optional Coverages

Fill the gaps most owners overlook

Standard policies exclude flooding and quakes. If you live near the Reedy River, Saluda watershed, or Lake Hartwell tributaries—or you just want extra certainty—ask about flood insurance. Have heirlooms, jewelry, or collections? Schedule them with valuable items insurance for higher limits and broader protection.

High-Value Homes & Estates

Coverage for distinctive properties

Own a custom build in Greer or an estate near Paris Mountain? The Sullivan Agency can coordinate elevated options and higher limits for complex exposures, from expanded liability to extended replacement cost—paired with concierge-level service from select carriers. If your lifestyle includes significant assets, we’ll discuss how a higher personal liability limit or a separate umbrella could fit your goals.

Discounts & Savings

Ways Greenville homeowners can save

We’ll look for protective device credits (monitored alarms, water sensors), claim-free discounts, and multi-policy credits when you bundle home and auto. We also review deductibles to balance premium and out-of-pocket risk—especially in wind/hail scenarios common across the Upstate.

South Carolina Considerations

Local risks, explained in plain English

Upstate homes face hail, straight-line winds, and occasional tornadoes; coastal regions contend with hurricanes and named-storm deductibles. We’ll clarify special deductibles for wind/hail, review roof coverage terms, and discuss ordinance or law coverage if your home must be rebuilt to newer codes. The Sullivan Agency uses local context—from building costs in Greenville County to tree-fall patterns in wooded lots—to recommend sensible limits.

Claims Guidance

When damage happens, we stay with you

Kitchen fire, burst pipe, or storm-damaged roof—claims can feel overwhelming. Our team’s claims background means we help you document losses, understand next steps, and communicate with the carrier so repairs move forward and surprises are minimized. You’re not on your own with The Sullivan Agency.

 Answers South Carolina homeowners ask most

  • Is homeowners insurance required in SC?

    Not by state law, but most lenders require it. Even without a mortgage, going without coverage risks severe out-of-pocket costs.

  • Does homeowners insurance cover hurricanes and wind?

    Wind is typically covered, but special wind/hurricane deductibles may apply. Flood (rising water) is not covered unless you add a separate policy.

  • How can I lower my premium?

    Consider a higher deductible, add protective devices, maintain your roof, and explore multi-policy savings when you bundle home and auto.
