Older homes, big trees and new infill

Carrboro mixes mill-era cottages near downtown with newer neighborhoods to the north and west. Older homes can have original wiring, plumbing or roofs that some companies look at closely, so we match you with carriers that are comfortable with the age and updates of your house and make sure the dwelling limit reflects real rebuilding cost.

Mature hardwoods line many streets. A summer thunderstorm or winter ice can bring limbs down on roofs, fences and cars, so we walk through how your home and auto policies handle fallen trees.

Renters, roommates and landlords

Being next to UNC-Chapel Hill means many renters, roommates and small landlords. A landlord’s policy does not cover a tenant’s belongings or liability, so renters insurance is an inexpensive way to protect laptops, bikes and furniture. If you own a rental house or duplex, a landlord (dwelling fire) policy fits better than a standard homeowners policy.

Bikes, buses and short commutes

Plenty of Carrboro residents bike, walk or ride the fare-free Chapel Hill Transit buses. Expensive bicycles and e-bikes can often be scheduled on a renters or homeowners policy, and good uninsured motorist limits on your auto policy can matter even when you are the one on the bike.

Local shops, restaurants and home businesses

Downtown Carrboro is full of independent restaurants, bars, music venues and shops, and many residents run consulting, design or craft businesses from home. Restaurants and bars usually need a business owners policy plus liquor liability, while a home business often needs more than a homeowners policy provides.
