At Janis-Shunta Insurance in&nbsp;Muskegon, MI, we are happy to help you update your coverage or choose a new policy.<\/p>\n<h2>Improvements<\/h2>\n<p>The first, and most obvious reason to update your homeowner&#8217;s policy, is that you&#8217;ve made improvements to your home. If you have remodeled your home, replaced the roof, or added a new structure like a garage, it&#8217;s important to update your policy. Improvements can make your home more valuable, and you&#8217;ll want to make sure the insurance company has the updated worth of your home. Improvements like a new roof may result in a lower premium as well.<\/p>\n<h2>Security System<\/h2>\n<p>A security system can also result in a lower premium. An alarm system makes your home three times&nbsp;less likely to experience a break-in.&nbsp;They also result in quicker alerts and fewer damages in the event of a fire.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Swimming Pool<\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, not all improvements to your home will lower your premium. A swimming pool presents an extra risk that could increase your premium. You&#8217;ll need to inform your insurance company to be sure you are covered in the event of an accident.<\/p>\n<h2>New Pets<\/h2>\n<p>Pets can also increase your premiums, particularly dogs. Your homeowner&#8217;s policy should cover the damages if your pet injures someone, but only if you inform them that you have a new furry addition to the family.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are a homeowner in Muskegon MI, contact us at Janis-Shunta Insurance. We are happy to discuss a new or existing homeowner&#8217;s policy with you, and ensure that you get the right coverage for your needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To keep your home insurance coverage up to date and get the best rate, there are times it&#8217;s necessary to update your home insurance policy.
