The Covid spreading around the country and more and more people forced to work from home and kids participating in online classes at home; many people are reconfiguring or
expanding their existing living space or retrofitting space they already have to provide better and more spaces for family members to spread out.
Another option is to build a separate structure on your existing lot to provide:
- Home Office Space
- Housing for a Senior Family member
- Additional Storage

Building Codes
Make sure to check your local building codes because remodeling or adding structures to your property may exist and you'll want to make sure these codes are followed during construction

Structures that are attached to your land, but not your house will be covered under 'other structure' or 'separate structures' on your homeowners policy. Make sure to consult with
your agent if you are building additional structures on your lot.
If you are remodeling, also make sure to consult your agent as you might need to increase the amount of insurance you need to reconstruct your home, especially if you are upgrading or adding to your existing home.
