Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is personal umbrella insurance cost-effective to add?

A: Umbrella insurance is generally very accessible because it only pays out after your primary accounts reach their limits. You get significant additional protection for a relatively small annual cost. Contact Josh Murray in Asheboro for an umbrella quote.

Q: Do I need extra protection for firearms, musical instruments, or collectibles?

A: Yes, specialty items like sports gear, fine instruments, stamp/coin collections, and firearms often exceed standard personal property sub-limits. Josh Murray in Asheboro can schedule these individual items so they are insured for loss, theft, or damage.

Q: What is the difference between a flat dollar deductible and a percentage deductible?

A: A flat dollar deductible is a fixed amount (like $500 or $1,000) you pay per claim, whereas a percentage deductible (common in storm/wind/hail options) is calculated as a percentage of your home's total insured value. Josh Murray in Asheboro can explain which applies to your property.

Q: What local community involvement or outreach does your agency participate in?

A: We believe in giving back to the community we serve by supporting local school sports, community events, safety initiatives, and neighborhood charities. Josh Murray is dedicated to making Asheboro a safer, stronger place to live.
