Think Again Before You Start Your Next Remolding Project

 
Picture
Many people are planning a home remodeling project for the spring or summer.  These projects may include a new backyard, kitchen or addition for the expanding family. Whatever the project, you need to protect yourself from the financial risks and hazards associated with a home remodel project.

If you are planning on hiring a contractor or construction company to help you with your project, keep these tips in mind. Following these guidelines will help reduce your risk and increase your chances for a successful, and hopefully stress-free, project.
1.    Before you hire a contractor ask for references. The Better Business Bureau is a good place to start.
2.    Know what you want and have a specific list of products, including the brands. For example, if you want a furnace, be specific about the type and brand. There are many brands; some good and some not so good.
3.    Always have a written contract with a competition date.
4.    Go visit other homes on which the contractor has worked.
5.    Some contractors may ask for100% of the payment upfront. Never do this. A small (10% to 15% upfront is normal)

Bonus Tip: Make sure the contractor is insured. Ask for a certificate of insurance for general liability and workers compensation.

Homeowner’s Insurance
If you are increasing the value of your home as a result of the remodel, you will need to make adjustments in your homeowner’s insurance limits. Your homeowner’s insurance will not cover the contractor or his work. If the contractor causes damage to your home, you will want their insurance to provide restoration.

Insurance coverage made easy. When it comes to buying your insurance, you have options.  You can go to a captive insurance agent, an agent that represents one company, or you can go to an independent insurance agent that represents many companies.  Strive Insurance Group, Inc. (formerly Gordon Lund Insurance Agency, Inc) is a full-service independent insurance agency representing many insurance companies.  This means that we shop many different insurance companies to obtain the best rate and coverage for your insurance.  We do this at no additional fee or service charge to you.  Simply put, our goal is to find you the best coverage and rate for your auto, home, business, or life insurance.  Whether you need a business insurance quote or an auto insurance quote, we can help.  To obtain an insurance quote, click on the tab and enter your information into the form.  If you have any questions along the way, please don't hesitate to contact one of our insurance agents. ​

Sorry to be a red-pen person, but you misspelled "REMOLDING" INSTEAD of "remodeling" in the header.
