SHOULD YOU HAVE INSURANCE FOR HOMES UNDER CONSTRUCTION OR RENOVATION ?
Home renovations are exciting but require a lot of organizing . You need to make sure you have hired the right people for the job , proper permits and a budget in place to go from start to finish . You also need to make sure your beautiful home is insured properly as well . This is one of the easiest ways you can protect yourself , your home , and the people working in it .
Here are five things you need to know about home insurance :
1 . With new construction , the builder or construction company / contractor is usually the one responsible for insurance but not always . Make sure you find out who is responsible for insurance prior to construction .
2 . Hire only insured contractors . In most cases , the owner is responsible for covering their personal property and liability due to injury caused to the workers , however , a contractor MUST have a valid insurance policy .
3 . Know your renovation type so you can choose insurance properly . There are generally three classes of renovations . A basic remodel doesn ’ t require structural change ( replacing flooring for example ). A minor structural renovation would include things like replacing windows . Finally , a major structural renovation which includes things like removing a support wall .
4 . Get a revised insurance policy if you are renovating the home or plan on moving out during the renovations . Whether you are in the home or moving out during renovations , you will need to speak to your insurance provider . Depending on the type of renovation , you may need a different insurance policy .
5 . Confirm coverage before the start of the project . This may seem like common sense however you may think it ’ s OK to start before the policy is confirmed . It is always best to wait , to avoid incurring losses due to the occurrence of uninsured accidents . - Surex , www . surex . com
