Roofing & Building Envelope
The envelope is what keeps the weather out, and the claims in this group tend to follow from that. Water getting in through a roof or a window, fire starting from a torch or heat gun, a fall from height, or a façade product that later turns out not to perform as specified.
Several of these trades carry an exposure that only appears years after the job is finished, because a defective seal or cladding system may not show itself until the first hard winter. Insurers usually want to understand the materials you use, whether heat is involved and whether you design or specify anything yourself.
