Have you ever considered the hidden dangers lurking in building envelope work? 🏗️ Most people don't realize that common materials like sealants, adhesives, and coatings can release hazardous pollutants into the environment. Even disturbing legacy building components like asbestos or lead-based paints creates serious pollution risks. One contractor faced a nightmare scenario when a tenant sued after allegedly inhaling silica dust during an exterior renovation project. The tenant had to be hospitalized and temporarily relocate due to the dust exposure - leading to a costly legal battle for the contractor. Incidents like this highlight why pollution liability insurance is an absolute must for building envelope contractors. This coverage protects against third-party claims for bodily injury, property damage, and environmental cleanup costs from pollutant releases - even gradual leaks or exposures over time. The modest annual premium is well worth the peace of mind, safeguarding your business from devastating six-figure costs if the unthinkable happens on your jobsite.

🍁 Happy Thanksgiving from Summit! 🍁 As we gather with our flocks to celebrate this time of gratitude, our team will be taking some time off to enjoy the holiday. We will be closed on Monday, and will resume regular business hours on Tuesday the 14th.

The harder the placement, the harder we'll work for you. Ivor Shanks excels at hard to place risks. Insurance is never fun when you are a high risk business - but Summit can make it less painful. "We recently had the opportunity to work with Ivor and the Summit team regarding an insurance renewal for our CGL and business insurance needs. Ivor approached the file with fresh eyes, energy and optimism. His hard work was refreshing in what can be a very impersonal and challenging industry. Ultimately, he was able to find savings in excess of $10K over our current policy. If you have a high-risk business or have been with the same broker for years, I'd encourage you to have Ivor test the waters in the marketplace for you - it could save you a ton of hard-earned money." #summit #realreviews #5stars
