🌷 Spring Into Protection 🌷

Spring is a season of fresh starts. We open the windows, tackle home projects, and start planning vacations, graduations, and outdoor gatherings.

While you're making your spring to-do list, it’s also a great time to make sure your insurance coverage is keeping up with your life.

Small updates now can help prevent big surprises later. Here’s a simple Spring Insurance Checklist to help you start the season with confidence and peace of mind.

✔️ Your Spring Insurance Checklist

🏡 1. Review Your Home Coverage

Winter weather can take a toll on your home. Spring is the perfect time to check for damage and make sure your policy reflects any changes.

Check for:

• Roof damage from winter storms

• Gutter and drainage issues

• Foundation cracks or water intrusion

• New renovations or upgrades that may increase home value

Insurance tip: If you’ve upgraded your kitchen, added a deck, or finished a basement, your dwelling coverage may need updating.

🚗 2. Update Your Auto Insurance

Life changes fast—especially for families.

Spring is a great time to review:

• Teen drivers who recently got their license

• Vehicles that were bought, sold, or paid off

• Mileage changes due to commuting or working from home

• Coverage levels and deductibles

Insurance tip: If your child will soon be driving or leaving for college, a quick coverage review can help you avoid surprises.

🧰 3. Protect New Purchases

Spring often brings new purchases like bikes, grills, patio furniture, landscaping equipment, and outdoor electronics.

Make sure valuable items are properly protected.

Consider:

• Adding valuable items to your home inventory

• Scheduling high-value items (jewelry, collectibles, etc.)

• Checking liability protection for backyard features like trampolines or pools

🏖️ 4. Think Ahead to Summer Travel

Many families start planning vacations in the spring.

Before you go:

• Confirm your homeowners policy covers belongings away from home

• Review liability coverage

• Consider umbrella insurance for extra protection

Insurance tip: Theft and accidents can happen anywhere. Making sure your coverage travels with you adds peace of mind.

👨‍👩‍👧 5. Review Your Life Insurance

Spring is often full of big life moments—new homes, growing families, new jobs, and financial goals.

Ask yourself:

• Would my family be financially protected if something happened to me?

• Has my income changed?

• Do I have new financial responsibilities like a mortgage or children?

Life insurance helps ensure the people who depend on you can continue building the life you’ve created together.

📋 6. Schedule a Quick Coverage Check

Many people set up their insurance once and forget about it. But life changes, and your coverage should change with it.

A short annual review can help:

• Identify coverage gaps

• Make sure discounts are applied

• Adjust policies for major life changes

• Provide peace of mind going into a new season
