What should I check on my home policy?<\/h2>\n<p>Census estimates put about one in four Cashmere homes as built before 1940 (American Community Survey, 2020\u20132024). With an older house, three things matter more:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rebuild cost, not market value.<\/strong> What an older home would sell for and what it would cost to rebuild are different numbers. Check the dwelling limit at renewal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Updates.<\/strong> Have the years for the roof, wiring, plumbing and heating ready. Many companies ask before they will quote.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Winter pipes.<\/strong> Washington&#8217;s insurance commissioner says a home policy should cover pipes that freeze and burst, but maybe not if the house wasn&#8217;t kept warm enough. It suggests keeping the home above 60 degrees. See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhifs.com\/blog\/does-homeowners-insurance-cover-ice-dams-wenatchee\/\">does home insurance cover ice dams?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Is wildfire a real issue for Cashmere homes?<\/h2>\n<p>Yes. The local wildfire plan for the Cashmere, Monitor, Dryden and Peshastin area counts more than 550 fires in that area since 1970. In 2004 the Fischer Fire burned more than 16,000 acres just north of Peshastin, Dryden and Cashmere and forced 600 people from their homes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Evacuations.<\/strong> Loss-of-use coverage can pay extra living costs when an evacuation order is in place (WA OIC). See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhifs.com\/blog\/wildfire-evacuations-and-additional-living-expense-coverage\/\">wildfire evacuations and additional living expense<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wildfire deductibles and risk scores.<\/strong> Some policies now carry a separate, higher wildfire deductible. Companies also use wildfire risk scores based on building materials, nearby vegetation, location and defensible space (WA OIC).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nonrenewal notices.<\/strong> A company that won&#8217;t renew your home policy has to give you 60 days&#8217; notice (RCW 48.18.2901). Call us early so we have time to shop.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Who protects my address from fire?<\/h2>\n<p>It depends on which side of the city limits you&#8217;re on. Chelan County Fire District 6 runs volunteer stations in Monitor, Dryden, Peshastin and Valley Hi and covers the unincorporated area around Cashmere. Inside city limits, the City of Cashmere has its own fire department. Insurance companies ask about fire protection, so give us your exact address.<\/p>\n<h2>Does a Cashmere home near the river need flood insurance?<\/h2>\n<p>Ask before spring runoff, not during it. The commissioner says home and renters policies usually don&#8217;t cover flood, and a National Flood Insurance Program policy generally starts 30 days after it&#8217;s written, unless a mortgage requires it. See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhifs.com\/blog\/flood-insurance-wenatchee-home-renters\/\">flood insurance in the Wenatchee area<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Do Cashmere renters need their own policy?<\/h2>\n<p>Usually, yes. Census estimates put about 36% of Cashmere households as renters. Your landlord&#8217;s insurance covers the building, not your belongings (WA OIC). Renters insurance covers your things and your personal liability. See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhifs.com\/renters-insurance.html\">renters insurance<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>What affects car insurance in Cashmere?<\/h2>\n<p>US-2 is the daily route. It has bypassed downtown on four lanes since 1959 (HistoryLink), and Census puts the average Cashmere commute at about 26 minutes. Mileage, where the car is parked and who drives all go into the quote. Deer on the valley roads are usually a comprehensive claim. See <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhifs.com\/blog\/hit-a-deer-wenatchee-car-insurance-comprehensive-claim\/\">hit a deer near Wenatchee?<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Thinking about renting your place to visitors?<\/h2>\n<p>Tell us first. Many home policies limit rental use. Outside city limits, Chelan County caps new short-term rentals, and its permit checklist requires a $1 million liability insurance certificate. Inside Cashmere, city rules apply.<\/p>\n<h2>Why use a local independent agency?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>We compare several insurance companies, not just one.<\/li>\n<li>We have one office, in downtown Wenatchee. Start by phone, text or the online form, or stop by Monday\u2013Friday, 9\u20135.<\/li>\n<li>Blue Horizon has been Ramsey Trusted \/ Dave Ramsey endorsed for 10+ years.<\/li>\n<li>Currently insured? Bring your declarations page. We line up start dates so there&#8217;s no gap.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How do I get a quote?<\/h2>\n<p>Request a quote online:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhifs.com\/insurance-quotes.html\">Get your free quote online<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Call a licensed insurance agent at <a href=\"tel:+15092937500\">509-293-7500<\/a> (Mon\u2013Fri, 9\u20135 PT).
