Coverage Guides: Your Quick Reference for Construction and Property Topics
When you hear the word "coverage" you might think of insurance, but in construction and home improvement it means something broader. It’s the range of issues a homeowner, builder or contractor needs to consider before a project starts. Knowing what’s covered helps you avoid surprise costs, stay safe and finish on time.
Why Understanding Coverage Matters
Every project has hidden angles – a tiny crack in a foundation, a roof leak hidden behind tiles, or a zoning rule that blocks a commercial conversion. If you skip the coverage checklist, a small problem can balloon into a major expense. The right coverage plan tells you what to inspect, what permits you need, and when to call a professional.
