Since New England weather can bring heavy wind, rain, and seasonal storms, it’s a good idea to review your policy so you understand your deductible and coverage before severe weather strikes.

Absolutely. Renovations such as remodeling a kitchen, finishing a basement, replacing your roof, or adding living space can increase the cost to rebuild your home. Updating your policy after major improvements helps keep your coverage aligned with your home’s current value.

Built-in appliances are generally covered if they’re damaged by a covered loss like a fire, windstorm, or certain types of water damage. Freestanding appliances are often covered under your personal property coverage, subject to your policy’s terms and limits.

Whether you’ve recently purchased a home in North Andover or have owned one for years, reviewing your coverage regularly is a smart way to stay protected.

In many situations, homeowners insurance helps pay to repair or replace a roof damaged by covered events like hail, wind, or falling branches. Damage that results from normal aging, neglect, or routine maintenance issues is typically not covered.

One of the best ways to stay properly insured is to review your policy every year and after any major life or home changes. Your insurance needs can change over time, and a quick policy review can help identify any gaps in coverage.
