Builders risk for fix-and-flip and rehab

Builders risk covers a property while it is being renovated - the stage where an ordinary homeowners or landlord policy will not. It is written to the as-completed value, so the coverage grows with the work.

Quote builders risk

What it covers

  • The existing structure plus the renovation work and materials on site
  • Coverage while the property is vacant and under construction
  • Theft of installed materials, where the carrier includes it
  • General liability for the job site, when you ask for it

Who it's for

Fix-and-flip investors, BRRRR investors and rehab borrowers financed by private and hard-money lenders.

What your lender will ask for

Coverage for the as-completed value or the loan amount, the lender's mortgagee clause, the loan number, and a term long enough for the project - usually 6 or 12 months.

Questions we hear

When do I need builders risk instead of a vacant policy?

When work is being done. A vacant-dwelling policy covers an empty house; builders risk covers the house while it is being renovated.

How fast can I get an evidence of insurance for closing?

Usually the same day. Send the purchase contract or loan details and we quote with several carriers at once.

Does builders risk include liability?

Not always. We add general liability when you or your lender ask for it.
