Why Fenimore

What is the worst-case scenario?
Take your pick:

A homeowner’s renovation dream can turn into an absolute nightmare in the blink of an eye. Say an electrician installs faulty wiring that starts a sudden fire in the walls — the consequence might be more than just a million-dollar claim payout. Even if the renovation is ultimately completed, a family may be displaced for months. Added coverage from a qualified provider like Fenimore Insurance can safeguard you against totally common risks.

Construction workers are known to experience the most frequent — and gruesome — injuries of all professions. But doesn’t their medical coverage fall on the contractor? Not entirely; as the owner of a building undergoing renovation, you still need a comprehensive policy to protect against litigation. When a scaffold fell in a well-publicized New York City accident several years ago, the property owner was named in an astronomical lawsuit involving an injured worker. With the right coverage, you can rest easy throughout any remodel and avoid becoming a cautionary tale.

Our comprehensive Renovation & Remodeling coverage options include:

  • Existing Structure
  • Improvements
  • Scaffolding & Temporary Structures
  • Material/Hard Costs
  • Labor & Non-Material Costs
  • Coverage Extensions
  • General Liability – Homeowner
  • General Liability – Contractor
  • Soft Costs
  • Mold/Fungus
  • Expediting Costs
  • Ordinance & Code Costs
  • Temporary Storage
  • Replanting of Trees & Landscape
  • Sewage
  • Arson & Theft Loss

 

These are just a few of the many optional features we can custom-tailor for your policy.
