If your home value has gone up due to specific renovations made, your homeowners insurance policy can be affected.

Not all renovations are equal, so here is a list of a few that could make a difference in the cost of your policy. Some will cause for an increase or decrease in coverage depending on the upgrade. If still unsure about other improvements, contact your current insurance company and they can offer guidance. Keep your most expensive investment protected!

2. Bulding a pool / increase

3. Adding an office for a home business / increase

4. Expanding your space / increase
