Handyman Insurance, Home Insurance Rate-Raisers
Below is a list that may effect the cost of your homeowner insurance rates.
* A swimming pool (especially with a diving board), a hot tub or a trampoline.
* A dangerous condition on your property (like cracked steps or a low spot that collects water or ice) that could injure someone. If the injured party files a claim with his or her insurance company, your rates will rise.
