Tailored Insurance Solutions for Renovation and Finishing Contractors
At Itzik Simon Insurance Agency, we provide customized insurance solutions for renovation and finishing contractors, backed by professional guidance and fast, efficient claims handling.
Renovation Contractors Insurance is a comprehensive protection package designed specifically for contractors, tradespeople, and companies engaged in renovation, finishing, interior design, plumbing, drywall, and electrical work in apartments, private homes, offices, and commercial properties.
Unlike large-scale construction projects, renovation insurance focuses on the unique risks associated with working inside existing occupied buildings. It provides essential protection for damage to the insured works, third-party liability involving homeowners, tenants, neighbors, and visitors, as well as employers' liability for employees and site workers.
Why Do Renovation Contractors Need a Dedicated Insurance Policy?
Working in occupied buildings exposes contractors to significant liability on a daily basis. Even a minor mistake during a renovation project can result in substantial financial losses. A Renovation Contractors Insurance policy is specifically designed to protect against scenarios such as:
Burst Water Pipe – Accidental damage causing extensive flooding to the renovated property and neighboring apartments below.
Damage to Existing Structures or Common Areas – Damage to structural walls, broken lobby flooring, or damage to elevators and other shared property while transporting construction materials.
Fire Caused by Hot Works – Fires resulting from welding, torching, grinding, waterproofing, or other hot work activities carried out during the renovation project.

What Are the Main Coverages in Renovation Contractors Insurance?
Itzik Simon's insurance policy is built on a comprehensive, integrated model that provides complete peace of mind throughout your renovation project.
1. Third-Party Liability Insurance – The Core of the Policy
Coverage against liability claims brought by neighbors, pedestrians, visitors, or property owners for bodily injury or property damage arising from renovation work. This is one of the most essential coverages when working in or around property owned by others.
2. Employers' Liability Insurance for Renovation Contractors
Renovation work involves significant exposure to workplace accidents, including falls from ladders and injuries caused by power tools. This section protects you against liability claims filed by employees, laborers, assistants, or subcontractors working on your behalf who are injured at the renovation site.
3. Contractors' All Risks (CAR) Insurance for Renovation Works
Coverage for sudden and unforeseen physical loss or damage to construction materials such as ceramic tiles, sanitary fixtures, kitchens, paint, and other materials located at the site, as well as to the renovation works themselves before they are handed over to the client.

Frequently Asked Questions About Renovation Contractors Insurance
What is the difference between Contractors' All Risks Insurance and Renovation Contractors Insurance?
A Contractors' All Risks (CAR) Insurance policy is designed for major construction and engineering projects, such as new building construction, large-scale extensions, and infrastructure works.
Renovation Contractors Insurance, on the other hand, is specifically tailored for work performed within existing buildings, including renovations, interior finishing, remodeling, and refurbishment projects. It places greater emphasis on third-party liability, damage to existing property, and the unique risks associated with occupied premises.
Does the policy also cover subcontractors working on my behalf?
Yes. The professional insurance policies arranged by Itzik Simon Insurance Agency can be structured to extend coverage to subcontractors working on your behalf at the project site, such as electricians, plumbers, and other specialist trades, provided that the value of their work is included in the declared contract value insured under the policy.
This helps prevent disputes between contractors and subcontractors while providing broader protection for both the project owner and the principal contractor.
Can I purchase an annual policy, or is coverage only available for individual projects?
Absolutely. Renovation contractors can choose between:
Project-Specific Insurance, which covers a single renovation project until its completion and handover.
Annual Open Cover, which provides ongoing protection for all eligible renovation projects carried out during the policy period, up to a predefined maximum project value.
An annual policy significantly reduces administrative work and is an ideal solution for contractors managing multiple projects throughout the year.
Does the insurance cover damage to neighboring properties caused by vibration or renovation work?
Direct physical damage—such as cracks in a neighboring wall caused by demolition work using heavy-duty breaking equipment—is generally covered under the Third-Party Liability section of the policy.
However, claims based solely on nuisance, construction noise, vibration complaints, or emotional distress, without accompanying physical property damage, are generally not covered under standard policies.
For this reason, contractors are strongly advised to carry out renovations using appropriate methods and to document the condition of neighboring properties before work begins.
Tailored Renovation Contractors Insurance for On-Site Operations
The right Renovation Contractors Insurance policy should be tailored to the nature of your work, the size of your projects, the trades involved, and the unique risks associated with working inside existing buildings.
At Itzik Simon Insurance Agency, we design customized insurance solutions that provide comprehensive protection, with a strong focus on Third-Party Liability, Employers' Liability, property coverage, hot works, tools and equipment, and professional claims management whenever you need it.
