Fill the Gaps. Cover the Exceptions. Protect the Unusual.

Property Condition & Supplemental Protection in San Diego & Chula Vista

Not all properties — or risks — fit neatly into a standard homeowners policy. Property Condition & Supplemental Protection Insurance offers targeted coverage for vacant homes, earthquake damage, and high-risk exposures like excess liability or difference in conditions (DIC). With over 25 years of experience, Preferred Property & Casualty helps California property owners protect what other policies don’t — with expert guidance and tailored solutions.

Built for Properties With Elevated Risk or Unique Needs

  • Protection for Non-Occupied or At-Risk Homes

    Whether your home is between tenants or exposed to natural hazards, we’ll help you stay covered when your standard policy won’t.

  • Coverage That Complements Your Primary Insurance

    We design supplemental solutions that work alongside — not in place of — your existing coverage.

  • Local Insight. Strong Carriers. Smart Protection.

    We understand regional risk factors like wildfires, earthquakes, and unoccupied property rules — and we tailor policies accordingly.

Common Questions

  • Is earthquake coverage included in my home policy?

    No — you need a separate earthquake policy or endorsement. We’ll help you evaluate your risk and options.

  • What counts as a vacant home?

    Generally, a home unoccupied for 30–60 days is considered vacant — and may not be covered without a special policy.

  • How is excess liability different from umbrella insurance?

    They serve a similar purpose, but excess liability is often tied to a specific policy and may have different terms.
