FAQ

Common Questions About Masons Insurance

Why do masons need high liability limits?

Masonry work is structural and permanent. A wall collapse or foundation failure can cause catastrophic damage. Claims often emerge years after completion, making robust completed operations coverage essential for long-term protection.

What about coverage for historic restoration work?

Historic restoration requires specialized coverage due to unique materials and techniques. Some carriers offer endorsements for restoration work. The higher value of historic properties also necessitates increased liability limits.

How does winter weather affect mason insurance?

Freeze-thaw cycles can cause masonry failures, leading to spring claims. Proper cold weather procedures and mortar additives are important. Some policies exclude work below certain temperatures without proper precautions.

Do I need professional liability for masonry?

If you provide design services, structural calculations, or engineering recommendations, professional liability is important. This is especially true for retaining walls, foundations, or load-bearing structures.
