Progressive's home insurance policies include the same six standard coverages as most national insurers. Whichever carrier in Progressive's network underwrites the policy applies the same coverage basics. The specific limits, especially for dwelling and personal property, are set at underwriting. Homeowners should confirm those limits reflect their home's actual replacement cost and the value of their belongings.

MoneyGeek scores home insurers across three weighted factors: affordability at 55%, customer satisfaction at 30% and coverage options at 15%, so Progressive's overall 3.75 out of 5 is driven mostly by how its rates compare to other providers, with service quality and policy customization playing a smaller role.
Scores are based on a sample homeowner between 41 and 60 years old with good credit and no recent claims, insuring a home built in 2000 with $250,000 in dwelling coverage and a $1,000 deductible. Rate data comes from Quadrant Information Services, which aggregates filed rates from state insurance regulators across 925 ZIP codes and 57 carriers (actual filed rates, not estimates).

What Does Progressive Homeowners Insurance Cover?
Dwelling CoverageDwelling coverage pays to repair or rebuild the main structure of your home after a covered loss like fire, wind or hail. A third-party carrier in Progressive's network underwrites the policy and sets the dwelling limit at underwriting. Check that the limit matches your home's rebuild cost. Market value and rebuild cost are not the same number.
Other Structures CoverageA garage, fence or other structure on your property falls under its own limit, separate from the dwelling limit, when a covered event causes damage. Progressive's underwriting carrier sets this sub-limit at the time of quote. Don't assume the default amount covers what you'd actually need to replace.
Personal Property CoverageClothing, furniture, electronics and other belongings are covered against theft or damage from a covered event, wherever the loss happens. Progressive's network usually ties the personal property limit to a percentage of the dwelling amount. Recently purchased valuables can push you past that limit. Review it at renewal to close any gap.
Personal Liability CoveragePersonal liability coverage pays legal defense costs and any settlement, up to the policy limit, if you're found responsible for someone else's injury or property damage. A pool, frequent guests or a home business can raise your exposure beyond what the standard limit covers.
Medical Payments CoverageGuests injured on your property can have their immediate medical costs covered under this coverage, regardless of fault. Ambulance transport and emergency room visits are typical examples, paid up to the policy limit.
Loss of Use CoverageLoss of use coverage pays for temporary housing, extra meals and other added living costs while your home is uninhabitable and repairs are underway. Progressive ties this coverage to the length of the repair period itself, not a fixed number of days. A longer rebuild means longer support under this coverage.
Optional Home Insurance Coverages from Progressive
Progressive offers two endorsements beyond its standard policy. Each fills a specific gap that a standard homeowners policy leaves open. Availability varies by state and underwriting carrier.
Water Back-up and Sump Discharge or Overflow | Pays for water removal and repair costs when a sewer backs up, a drain overflows or a sump pump fails, a loss that Progressive's standard policy excludes entirely and that most homeowners don't think about until it happens. |
Personal Injury | Covers legal defense costs and damages if someone sues you for slander, libel, wrongful eviction, false arrest or similar claims, extending protection into territory standard liability coverage doesn't reach. |
What Does Progressive’s Home Insurance Not Cover?
No policy placed through Progressive's network covers flood or earthquake damage; those require separate policies purchased independently, and homeowners in high-risk areas should arrange this before assuming they're covered. Intentional damage, deferred maintenance, pest infestations, mold growth and normal wear and tear are also excluded, which means keeping up with upkeep is a condition of having a valid claim when something actually goes wrong. War, nuclear hazards and government seizure of property fall outside any standard policy as well, consistent with nearly every insurer in the market.

Progressive Home Insurance Review: Rates by State
Progressive's rates vary widely by state and by which carrier in its network matches your home. Annual costs for $250,000 in dwelling coverage range from $1,237 in California to $11,616 in Florida. Local catastrophe exposure, rebuilding costs and carrier availability in each market drive that gap. The table below covers states where MoneyGeek collected pricing data. It doesn't reflect every state where Progressive operates.
| California | $103 | $1,237 |
| Connecticut | $216 | $2,587 |
| Florida | $968 | $11,616 |
| Kentucky | $259 | $3,107 |
| Louisiana | $767 | $9,200 |
| Michigan | $187 | $2,246 |
| New Jersey | $136 | $1,630 |
| Tennessee | $320 | $3,846 |
| Texas | $881 | $10,571 |
| West Virginia | $238 | $2,860 |
Progressive's California rate is its strongest showing in this data. It ranks fourth for affordability at the state level at $103 monthly, despite ranking 14th nationally. State-level rankings reflect the competitive makeup of each individual market rather than Progressive's nationwide position. Florida tells a different story. At $968 monthly, Florida is the most expensive state in the data. Progressive still ranks sixth overall and seventh for affordability there. Other carriers operating in Florida price even higher than that.
Texas is where Progressive's value proposition is weakest relative to local competitors. It ranks eighth for affordability at $881 monthly, tied for the worst affordability rank in the data.
Progressive Homeowners Insurance Discounts
Progressive offers eight home insurance discounts. Which ones apply depends on your state and the underwriting carrier matched to your policy. Bundling home and auto is the most straightforward way to reduce your total insurance cost. It averages 7% savings on the car insurance side, on top of any homeowners discount applied. Confirm with your agent or at quote which of the eight discounts are active for your specific situation. Availability varies by state.
Bundle Home and Auto | Combining home and auto policies with Progressive averages 7% savings on the car insurance side. Multi-policy discounts also apply to the homeowners side. This is worth checking first if you already carry auto coverage with Progressive. |
Safety and Alarm Discounts | Homes with burglar alarms, fire alarms, automatic sprinklers, security cameras or monitored security systems qualify. These are standard safety upgrades that also lower your actual risk of a claim. |
Quote in Advance | Getting a quote at least 10 days before the policy start date qualifies for this discount. It's an easy one to capture if you're not switching last-minute. |
New Purchase | This discount applies when buying a new home or switching from a renters insurance policy to homeowners. The home's construction year doesn't affect eligibility. |
Paperless | Choose to receive policy documents electronically to qualify for this discount. There's little downside to opting in. |
New Home Construction | Recently built homes see larger savings under this discount. Claims are statistically less frequent for newer construction, and older homes receive a smaller discount in this category. |
Pay in Full | Pay the entire 12-month policy upfront to reduce your premium. It works well if you can cover the cost in one payment and want to skip installment fees. |
Florida Wind Mitigation | Florida homeowners with homes built before 2002 can qualify by completing certified roof or wind mitigation updates. Homes built in 2002 or later receive credits automatically. This discount carries particular value in hurricane-exposed areas of the state. |
How to Buy Progressive’s Homeowners Insurance
Progressive sells home insurance online through its HomeQuote Explorer tool and through independent agents who can help you compare options from its carrier network. The five steps below walk through the home insurance buying process, from determining your coverage needs to finalizing a policy.
- 1Determine How Much Coverage You Need
Figure out how much home insurance you need by checking what it would cost to rebuild your home and making a home inventory of what you own.
- 2Get a Quote Through Progressive's HomeQuote Explorer
Enter your address at Progressive's to start a quote. Progressive uses public records to pull your property details: square footage, roof type and similar information, so you can move faster. If more than one carrier in the network matches your home, you'll see their rates and coverages side by side.
- 3Compare Carrier Options in Progressive's Network
Review which carrier is underwriting the policy, not just the price. The carrier behind the policy handles claims, so check its customer satisfaction and financial strength ratings alongside the premium before deciding.
- 4Stack Your Discounts
Progressive offers eight discounts. Bundling home and auto captures the most savings for most homeowners, but layering in paperless billing, quote-in-advance and any safety device discounts can reduce the rate further without changing coverage.
- 5Finalize and Buy the Policy
Review the full policy documents (including which carrier is underwriting it) before signing. Progressive can handle proof of insurance and billing setup with your mortgage company directly if you're closing on a home.
How to File a Homeowners Insurance Claim with Progressive
Progressive handles the initial claim report and connects you with the underwriting carrier responsible for your policy, which then manages the inspection, estimate and payment. You can report a claim any time by phone or online at Progressive.com; the claims line and online portal are available 24/7 for property claims. The steps below reflect how Progressive's property claims process works in practice.
Progressive vs. Other Home Insurance Companies
MoneyGeek compared Progressive against State Farm and Allstate on affordability, customer experience and coverage options. Progressive charges $5,504 per year for $250,000 in dwelling coverage, considerably more than State Farm at $2,151 and Allstate at $2,942 for the same coverage level. Customer experience is where Progressive comes closest to its competitors, scoring 3.87 out of 5 compared to Allstate's 3.88 and State Farm's 4.31.
| Average Monthly Premium | $459 | $179 | $245 |
| Average Annual Premium | $5,505 | $2,151 | $2,942 |
| Overall MG Score | 3.75 | 4.50 | 4.20 |
| Affordability Score | 4.09 | 4.73 | 4.52 |
| Customer Experience Score | 3.87 | 4.31 | 3.88 |
| Coverage Score | 2.29 | 4.04 | 3.69 |
Progressive Home Insurance Review: Bottom Line
Progressive scores 3.75 out of 5 in MoneyGeek's review, ranking 13th out of 14 home insurers evaluated. Affordability accounts for the largest share of that score. It weighs 55% of the total. At $458 monthly for $250,000 in dwelling coverage, Progressive's rates sit above most alternatives. Bundling home and auto can offset some of that cost for homeowners who already hold a Progressive auto policy.
Progressive is a reasonable comparison option for homeowners who want access to a network of carriers through a single quote process. Homeowners prioritizing price or broad policy customization will likely find stronger options elsewhere.

Progressive can underwrite your home insurance or match you with home policies through a network of third-party carriers that includes Nationwide, Openly, Bamboo and several others. The carrier that actually underwrites and services your policy depends on your state and home profile, so the company handling your claim may not be Progressive itself.
No. Progressive's standard home policies exclude flood damage, as do most standard homeowners policies in the market. Homeowners in flood-prone areas need a separate flood insurance policy, either through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private carrier; this is often available through Progressive's agent network.
