🏠 Planning a Home Renovation? Talk Insurance Before the Work Begins! 🔨
Thinking about remodeling your kitchen, updating your bathroom, adding a room, or making major home improvements this winter?
Before construction begins, take time to review your homeowners insurance. Major renovations can affect your home's value, replacement cost, and potential risks during construction. Your existing coverage may need adjustments depending on the project.
Here are 5 things to remember before renovating:
🔨 1. Notify Your Insurance Agent
Inform your agent about major renovations before work begins. Some projects may affect your current coverage.
🏠 2. Review Your Home's Value
Upgrades like kitchen remodels, room additions, and finished basements may increase rebuilding costs. Make sure your coverage reflects these changes.
👷 3. Check Contractor Coverage
Ask contractors for proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, where applicable.
🚧 4. Understand Construction Risks
Exposed areas, building materials, and unfinished structures may create additional risks. Ask your agent if your policy adequately addresses them.
💡 5. Keep Records
Save receipts, contracts, permits, and before-and-after photos to document your improvements.
Remember, a home improvement project should add value to your home, not leave you with unexpected insurance gaps!
