You know that you should probably pick up the phone and call your provider when building a whole new bedroom or redoing the kitchen from the ground up. But do you need to call them every single time you install a new sink or window?<\/p>\n<h2>What Are You Willing To Risk?<\/h2>\n<p>Ultimately, the question of when to call your insurer comes down to how much value you&#8217;re willing to leave uninsured. For most minor home improvements, you&#8217;re not required to tell your insurer, but if you put five thousand dollars of new fixtures into your home, and then your home burns down, that&#8217;s five thousand dollars you&#8217;re not going to get from your insurance provider.<\/p>\n<p>Our advice: Anything you can&#8217;t replace with the cash in your wallet, you should probably tell your insurance agent about it.<\/p>\n<p>The value threshold may vary from homeowner to homeowner. You might not be worried about a five hundred dollar bathtub, where someone else will want to ensure that those fifty dollar drapes are covered.<\/p>\n<p>So really it comes down to peace of mind. That&#8217;s what we&#8217;re really buying when we call Linda Dugan Insurance about a home insurance policy, and if you&#8217;re not reappraising your home whenever it improves in value, then you&#8217;re leaving a lot of peace of mind unclaimed.<\/p>\n<p>In short, your&nbsp;insurer&nbsp;needs to know when you&#8217;re doing major renovations. But&nbsp;you&nbsp;need your insurer to know when you&#8217;re doing minor renovations.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking to get covered in Astoria, OR or if you have any questions, call Linda Dugan Insurance and see what they can do for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When remodeling in Astoria, OR, there are little projects and there are big projects.
