StrucSure Home Warranty provides this helpful information for homeowners who want solid direction in remodeling or improving their home.
If you are thinking about hiring a contractor to remodel your home, we want to help make the experience a positive one. Here are key items we urge you to consider when selecting a contractor:
-
There should be a written agreement or contract outlining the work to be performed and other project details.
-
They should have valid references you can call.
-
They should provide an insurance-backed warranty that covers workmanship and materials (with an optional provision to cover structural components depending on your project).
StrucSure Home Warranty's Remodelers Program offers peace-of-mind during and after your remodeling project. This new program protects you against issues that can (and sometimes do) occur during or after a home remodel, including workmanship, materials and structural issues.
Your remodeler is responsible for electing coverage from StrucSure Home Warranty before your project begins. The cost for coverage is minimal and is rolled into the total cost of the remodel project.
In order to qualify as a remodeler under our program, we complete a financial screening of the contractor / company and require they meet stringent underwriting requirements. This helps you to feel confident that the remodeler you choose is both ethical and reputable.
If your remodeler is not part of our program, ask them to join so you can sleep better at night knowing that your home is covered during (and after) your remodel project.
