Home Improvement and Insurance

Making home improvements is an exciting time for many people. However, there is much more than just price that needs to be considered when taking on these projects. Your home insurance as well as your contractors insurance needs to be evaluated to make sure that the entirety of the project will be insured. We have listed the top 3 things you need to check before starting a project.

1. Review your homeowner's policy - it is important to know exactly what is covered on your policy in case something happens to your property.

2. Make sure your contractor is licensed and bonded - you want to be sure that they are taking care of your property correctly and are insured adequately.

3. Confirm contractor's liability insurance - this is important in case anyone gets hurt on your property during remodel (someone other than a worker). They should also have a worker's compensation policy for workers getting injured.
