Home renovations can be costly, but insufficient insurance coverage<\/a> can make the process exponentially more expensive. Below are some do’s and don’ts that can help keep you protected during a home improvement project.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Double-check your contractor’s insurance coverage.<\/strong> Workers’ compensation and liability insurance are musts. Ask to see the necessary certificates and confirm sufficient coverage<\/a> before you sign a contract.<\/li>\n
  2. Don’t assume subcontractors are covered.<\/strong> If your general contractor is subcontracting work to a plumber, electrician or another professional, make sure those companies carry insurance. The general contractor’s policy may not cover them.<\/li>\n
  3. Increase your replacement value.<\/strong> Improvements made during a renovation enhance the value of your home. Expanding your insurance coverage ensures your policy fully covers the cost of rebuilding your home as is.<\/li>\n
  4. Don’t forget to include new items.<\/strong> Add updated appliances and furniture purchases to avoid potential gaps in coverage.<\/li>\n
  5. Raise the liability coverage limit.<\/strong> Making this change can help protect a homeowner in the event of an injury while the property is under construction.<\/li>\n
  6. Don’t neglect an attractive nuisance.<\/strong> Are you adding a swimming pool, trampoline or other feature to your home that might attract and pose a risk to children? Should an accident involving an attractive nuisance<\/a> happen, you’d be liable — whether or not you gave permission to use it. Additional liability protection can help ease that burden.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Insurance plays an important role when you embark on a home improvement project. The right type and amount of coverage can help you avoid pitfalls on the road to owning your dream home.<\/p>\n\n
