Spring is the perfect time to hit reset—not just on your home, but also on your insurance policies. At Payne Insurance Group, we know that decluttering your life can also mean reviewing what’s protecting it.
Just like clearing out closets and cleaning behind appliances, giving your coverage a check-up ensures you’re prepared for the months ahead. Here are five insurance-related tasks you should tackle this season:
1. Update Your Policies
Have you recently renovated your home, purchased big-ticket items, added a new vehicle, or welcomed a new family member? These changes can impact your coverage. Connect with Payne Insurance Group to make sure your home, auto, and life policies reflect your current situation.
Quick Tip: Renovations can increase your home’s value. Make sure your policy reflects the true rebuild cost.
2. Shred Old Insurance Documents
Expired ID cards or outdated policy paperwork take up space and can cause confusion. Safely shred old documents and organize the most current versions in a safe place—or go digital for added convenience.
Pro Tip: Scan your most important documents and store them in a secure cloud location for easy access during emergencies.
3. Prep for Storm Season
Spring storms in South Texas can bring strong winds, hail, and heavy rain. Now is the time to double-check your homeowners insurance to ensure you’re covered for seasonal risks. Not sure what your policy covers? Our agents can help clarify and adjust it.
Checklist: ☑️ Review storm-related deductibles
☑️ Confirm flood insurance if you live in a flood-prone area
☑️ Inspect your roof and gutters for maintenance
4. Create or Update a Home Inventory
As you clean, take inventory of your belongings. Photos or short videos of each room can be a lifesaver if you need to file a claim. Be sure to include receipts or estimated values for high-cost items.
Why it matters: A complete home inventory makes the claims process faster and helps ensure nothing is left out.
5. Book Your Annual Policy Review
Even if nothing big has changed, reviewing your insurance annually is a smart move. Our agents at Payne Insurance Group can help identify potential savings, discounts, or coverage gaps that might surprise you.
Did you know? Bundling your home and auto policies could save you money every month.
