When to Update Your Homeowners Insurance Policy: Key Life Events to Watch For 

Your home is likely your biggest investment. At Cornerstone Insurance Agency LLC, we want to make sure your policy evolves with your life. Too often, homeowners make updates or go through major life changes without adjusting their insurance. This can lead to gaps in coverage or even claim denials. Check out our guide below!

Life Events That Warrant a Policy Review 

  1. Home Renovations 

Have you added a room, upgraded your kitchen, or installed a pool? This increases your home’s replacement cost and should be reflected in your policy. 

  1. Purchase of High-Value Items 

Bought a new engagement ring, home theater system, or fine art? These may exceed your personal property limits. You may need a rider or endorsement. 

  1. Change in Occupancy 

Renting out a room or converting your home into a vacation rental? This changes your risk profile and may require landlord insurance. 

  1. Major Family Changes 

Marriage, divorce, or a new baby? These life events might affect your coverage needs. 

  1. Security or Safety Upgrades 

Added a home security system or a new roof? You could qualify for discounts!
