Historic homes and a windy bench
Ogden is the county seat of Weber County. The Jefferson Avenue and Eccles Avenue historic districts hold Victorian and early 1900s homes, while the East Bench and neighborhoods near Weber State University sit higher and closer to the mountains. Downslope winds funneling out of Weber Canyon can be intense, and the city sees significant snowfall.
Typical claims
- Wind: shingles, siding, fences and trees damaged during canyon wind events.
- Snow and ice: ice dams on older homes and snow-load damage to porches, carports and outbuildings.
- Water: freeze-related pipe bursts in older homes with limited insulation.
- Hail: summer storms moving along the northern Wasatch Front.
Housing notes
Historic homes in Ogden often have plaster walls, ornate trim, slate or older roofing and masonry that needs specialized repair. Estimates that use modern standard materials can fall short.

We also serve Huntsville, Eden and the Ogden Valley, where cabins and resort-area homes face mountain snow loads and freeze risk.

Questions from Ogden owners
Is my historic home’s plaster covered at replacement cost?
Replacement cost generally means like kind and quality. Whether that means plaster or drywall depends on the policy and the facts. It’s a common appraisal issue.
Do you cover Ogden Valley cabins?
Yes, including Huntsville, Eden and Liberty.
