If you own a vintage or historic home, you know there are special challenges involved with maintaining your home. Old wiring, outdated plumbing, drainage problems, environmental concerns, and cracked foundations are just a few of the issues with which you may find yourself struggling.

For basic information about common maintenance issues, our risk management overview for historic homes is a good place to start. If you are a Fireman's Fund policyholder, you can count on your Risk Management Advisor to provide more extensive and customized maintenance and restoration advice for your particular vintage home.

If you treasure your property's period landscaping as much as you treasure your vintage home's original quarter sawn oak paneling or stained glass windows, you may be interested in the Fireman's Fund policy for landscaping. Experts are also available through our PrestigeŽ Advisory Services network to provide an analysis of the value and condition of that landscaping -- even if it was planted by celebrated landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.

The landscape policy is available as an endorsement to our Prestige Home Premier homeowners policy. 

These descriptions of coverage are abbreviated and are subject to the terms, conditions and exclusions of the actual policy, which forms the contract between the insured and the insurance company.

Available coverages, credits and options may vary by state.
