Hypothetical claim scenarios

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

Picture a gust catching a length of vinyl as a crew member lifts it, sending it through the neighbor's patio door; in the event of a covered claim, the general liability portion is intended to respond to that property-damage demand.
Suppose a section you installed last season works loose and water seeps into the sheathing behind it — completed-operations coverage may help respond to the homeowner's claim.

Frequently asked questions

Does this respond to damage from working up on a lift?

General liability is generally intended to respond to third-party bodily injury or property damage that occurs during your work, including from elevated positions, subject to policy terms.

What if the siding fails long after the job ends?

Completed-operations coverage is intended to respond to bodily injury or property damage arising from finished work after your crew has left the site.
