Remodeling

Remodeling? Make sure your coverage keeps up with the project.

A remodel raises your home's value and creates new, temporary risks: materials on site, contractors working, and a higher rebuilding cost when you are done. A quick review keeps your coverage in step before and after the work.

Remodeling changes two things your policy cares about: the rebuilding cost of the finished home and the risk during construction. It is worth confirming your dwelling limit will reflect the improvements and understanding what your policy does and does not cover while work is underway.

During the project

While work is underway, there are questions about materials and fixtures on site, liability if someone is injured, and the contractor's own insurance. Confirming the contractor carries liability and workers compensation, and that you are protected, matters before work starts.

Large projects can affect occupancy and risk enough that your insurer should be told in advance.

After the project

A finished remodel usually raises what it would cost to rebuild your home, so your dwelling coverage should be updated to match. New high-value features, from a kitchen to an addition, can leave you underinsured if the limit never moves.

It is also a natural moment to revisit valuables, liability, and whether an umbrella fits the upgraded home.

Frequently asked

Common questions.

Does homeowners insurance cover remodeling?
It depends on the project and your policy. Some risks during construction may not be fully covered, and the contractor's insurance matters. It is worth confirming before work begins.
Do I need to update my insurance after a remodel?
Usually yes. A remodel typically raises your home's rebuilding cost, and your dwelling limit should be updated so you are not underinsured after the improvements.
Should my contractor have insurance?
Yes. Confirm the contractor carries general liability and workers compensation, and that the certificate is current, so you are not exposed if something goes wrong on the job.
