Spring Cleaning Your Insurance Policies: A Fresh Start for Peace of Mind

As the snow melts and flowers bloom, Spring is the perfect time to do more than clean out closets and dust off shelves — it’s also a great moment to revisit your insurance policies. Just like your home, your insurance needs a seasonal refresh to make sure everything is still working for you.

Here’s a quick Spring checklist to help you tidy up your coverage:

Auto Insurance: Tune Up Your Policy Like Your Car

Warmer weather brings more road trips, bike riders, and pedestrians — which means more risk. Use this time to:

  • Review your coverage limits: Do they still meet your needs?
  • Check for discounts: Low mileage, bundling, good driving — you might qualify!
  • Update vehicle info: If you’ve bought or sold a car, or added a teen driver, update your policy ASAP.
  • Ensure roadside assistance is included: Especially if you plan summer travel.

Other Seasonal Coverage to Consider:

    • Recreational Vehicles: Boats, motorcycles, ATVs — make sure they’re insured before that first ride.
    • Garden & Landscaping: Some home policies cover landscaping, sheds, or garden tools — check your limits.

Home Insurance: Spring into Safety

Spring can bring heavy rain, flooding, and even windstorms, depending on where you live. Take a moment to:

  • Check your dwelling coverage: Is it enough to rebuild at today’s costs?
  • Update your home inventory: Did you renovate, or add new furniture, tech, or appliances?
  • Review liability protection: Especially important if you’re hosting guests or installing trampolines or pools.
  • Consider water damage coverage: Not all policies include flooding or sewer backup.

Pro Tips for a Clean Policy:

  • Schedule a call with your broker or insurer to go over everything.  https://www.seafirstinsurance.com/contact-us/
  • Set a calendar reminder for your next review — doing this annually in Spring makes it a habit.
  • Store digital and paper copies of all documents somewhere safe and accessible.

Spring is a time for renewal — not just in your home, but in your coverage too. With a little insurance “spring cleaning,” you can relax knowing you’re protected for whatever the season brings.

 Happy Spring! And as always, if you have questions, your insurance advisor is just a call away.

We got you!
