We Are Planning a Home Renovation, Do We Need Additional Insurance?

Planning a large home renovation project such an addition or a totally new kitchen? Before you get started it is important to make sure that all of the necessary insurance coverage is in order. At Linda Dugan Insurance we serve the needs of our clients in the greater Astoria, OR area protect their homes from any damage, accidents, or mishaps that can occur when there is a big construction project underway at your house. You will need a thorough review of both your home insurance policy as well as that of your contractor.

Review Your Policy and Your Contractor’s Too

Most people will go through the motions and simply determine that their contractor’s insurance certificate is up to date and leave it at that. While this is a good first step, it is better to actually review their policy and make sure that the coverage levels that it provides are adequate. If you are having a major amount of work completed, or have a project that is going to take a long time, you can even have yourself added to their policy as a named insured. Being added to their general liability policy is a simple process that can make a significant difference in how an accident or other damage can affect you and your family.

Before your contractor gets started on that major home improvement project make sure you have the protection you need. The team at Linda Dugan Insurance is here to help you review your policy for completeness and help you determine if your current policy carried adequate coverage. If you are in the greater Astoria, OR area, call or stop by and we will make sure you are covered before you begin any major projects!
