Many homeowners purchase home insurance and automatically renew it annually without reviewing their policy. Over time, however, changes to your home or lifestyle may alter your coverage, making it less effective in protecting your Plano, TX property. At Paragon Independent Insurance Agency, we recommend reviewing your home insurance annually to see if you need to update your coverage. Here are a few reasons why it may be time to update or upgrade your policy.
Home Renovations
Major home renovations like kitchen or bathroom remodeling can increase the value of your Plano TX home. If you insured your home for a certain amount years ago, your coverage may now be insufficient to rebuild your home at its current value. You can, however, increase the dwelling coverage by upgrading your policy. This ensures you’re protecting your home for its full value after remodeling. You’ll also need to add these renovations to your policy so they’ll be protected within your dwelling coverage.
Home improvements that enhance the safety or security of your home, such as new plumbing, electrical, or security system, may qualify you for a discount on your home insurance. To receive this discount, you’ll need to update your policy.
Lifestyle Changes
If you retired after purchasing your original home insurance and installed a new pool or home gym to stay fit, you may need to raise the limits of your property coverage to protect these items. If you plan to have friends or family over for a swim, you may need extra liability insurance to protect you against pool accidents. If you adopt a dog, you’ll need protection against the risk of your pet biting a visitor on your property.
