Hypothetical claim scenarios

These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.

A nail gun discharges and damages a neighbor's parked car. The general liability policy is generally intended to respond in the event of a covered claim.
Months after a re-roof, the homeowner alleges water intrusion through the ridge. Completed-operations coverage is generally intended to address allegations of this nature.

Frequently asked questions

Is roofing insurance hard to get?

Roofing is among the harder trades to place because of completed-operations frequency. Many standard carriers exclude roofing entirely. Specialty markets are commonly used.

What about hot tar, torch-down, or hot-work operations?

Hot work is often excluded or requires a separate hot-work endorsement. Confirm policy form covers your methods.
