that are used in building, repairing, or altering the main dwelling.

in a homeowners policy, including debris removal, pollution clean-up,
reasonable repairs, fire department service charges, and consequential
loss coverage.
Coverage A also provides up to $5,000 for damage to grave markers on the insured
premises.
However, Coverage A does not apply to trees, shrubs, plants, or lawns, unless a
