Massachusetts home insurance: what to know
Massachusetts coastal homes face hurricane and nor’easter wind, frequently with a separate hurricane or wind/hail deductible.
Even in a moderate-hazard state like Massachusetts, standard policies exclude flood and earthquake — check whether your specific location needs either, and insure your home to full replacement cost rather than market value.
