Insurance in Sharon: the local picture
Living here in Sharon, we know our homes are more than just houses; they're our roots. Given the mix of older frame and brick homes, plus manufactured housing common throughout Weakley County, it’s critical to have a robust homeowner's policy that covers the true replacement cost, not just market value. With varying roof types across town, considering specific endorsements for hail or wind damage is a smart move, especially after seeing the kind of severe weather we get, like that EF-1 tornado back in April 2011. You don't want to be caught short if the roof needs replacing after a big storm rolls through.
Our local economy, supported by places like the Weakley County School District, Weakley County Rehabilitation and Nursing Center in Dresden, and even the folks at McKenzie Health Care Center in McKenzie, means a lot of us are employed right here. For these businesses, adequate commercial property and liability insurance is non-negotiable. Think about the potential for property damage from the same severe weather that hits our homes, or general liability risks for employees and visitors. Even smaller operations, like the Robinson & Belewe elevator, need to be fully protected against unforeseen events.
And let's not forget our geography. With the South Fork Obion River system nearby and our hot, humid summers, flood insurance is something every homeowner should seriously consider, even if you're not in a designated flood zone. Heavy rains can cause unexpected issues, and standard policies don't cover flood damage. It’s about protecting your biggest asset from whatever Mother Nature throws our way, and here in Sharon, she can throw a lot.
