Common Questions
Hurricane Insurance — Frequently Asked Questions
Does standard homeowners insurance cover hurricane damage in North Carolina?
Partially. Most standard homeowners policies cover wind damage, but many coastal NC properties — especially in the Wilmington area — carry a separate hurricane deductible of 1–5% of the home's insured value. In some higher-risk zones, wind coverage may be excluded entirely and must be purchased as a standalone policy. Reviewing your policy with a licensed agent is the only way to know for sure.
What is a hurricane deductible and how does it work?
A hurricane deductible is a separate, higher out-of-pocket amount that applies when damage is caused by a named hurricane. Unlike a standard flat-dollar deductible, hurricane deductibles are typically a percentage of your home's insured value. On a $400,000 home with a 2% hurricane deductible, you'd pay $8,000 before your insurer covers the rest. Understanding your deductible before a storm is critical.
Do I need separate windstorm insurance in Wilmington?
It depends on your policy and your property's location. Homes in high-exposure coastal zones near Wilmington — including Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, and Kure Beach — are more likely to require separate windstorm coverage. A licensed agent at Morgan Scheibel Insurance can review your existing policy and identify gaps before hurricane season.
When is hurricane season in North Carolina?
The Atlantic hurricane season officially runs June 1 through November 30, with peak activity between mid-August and mid-October. Wilmington and the Cape Fear region are historically among the most hurricane-impacted areas on the East Coast. Critically, insurers can and do restrict new coverage once a storm is named — so the time to act is before the season starts, not during it.
