As a builder you know that during construction, projects are subject to a wide variety of risks or damage. While under construction, a project could suffer from damages due to high winds, fire, or sabotage of some nature.

One principle of common law states that once there is any new construction or improvement to land, it automatically becomes the property of the title holder. This is why as a builder you need Builder’s Risk Insurance which will indemnify you against some of these losses. In particular, this coverage protects you or your organization’s insurable interests such as materials, equipment, and fixtures in the event of damage or loss during the course of construction.

Our agents PMA Insurance Services are experts when it comes to making sure you have the coverage you need for your building project. At PMA Insurance Inc., located in Chantilly, VA, we are available to serve customers throughout the Northern Virginia/ Washington DC Metropolitan area.

Homeowners insurance can safeguard your home and property from such hazards as fire, storms, vandalism, theft, etc. Before purchasing a policy, you should review coverage to ensure you’re getting the kind of protection you need.

Homeowners insurance generally covers water backup damage caused by sewer or drain problems if the problem originates on your premises. An example of this would be a drain blockage from a toilet or shower in your house that overflows onto your property.

To obtain protection from water backup damage caused by sources off your premises, such as a sump overflow, you would need to purchase an endorsement policy. Protection against flood damage would require purchasing flood insurance as this is not covered by either your homeowners or endorsement policy.

By discussing coverage options with your agent, you can obtain adequate coverage to meet your particular needs. PMA Insurnce Services Inc. offers homeowners insurance coverage from such top insurers as Progressive, Travelers, Hartford, Metlife, Allied, Safeco and Kemper Preferred.

Independent agents can look at the offerings of Safeco, Kemper Preferred, Progressive and more to find you the best deals for you, rather than trying to sell you on a specific type of insurance.

2. Independent agents are more knowledgeable than others.

Independent agents know about the product offerings at MetLife, Travelers, Hartford, Dairyland and more. Thus, they can give you a larger selection.

Granted, when most people think of deer season, they think about hunters roaming the woods, wearing day-glo orange vests and trying to bag a buck with the largest rack of antlers possible. However, for other people, it means paying a lot more attention to what is in the road in front of them. That’s because deer, especially during mating season, have a tendency to not pay attention to roads, cars, trucks or anything else.

More deer are hit by a vehicle during mating season than at any other time because of the additional activity and hitting a deer, even with a transfer truck, can literally destroy a vehicle.

Here are a few tips to help prevent having a deer for a hood ornament during mating season:

1. Be especially cautious at night. Deer are very active during mating season and dusk to dark is a very active time for them.

2. Install headlights that give you a wider perspective. The wider view you have off of each side of the road may give you that split second advantage if a deer is preparing to cross.

3. Slow down at Deer Crossing signs. If there’s a sign there, it’s there for a reason.

4. If you see one deer, there’ll be two. While this isn’t always the case, more often than not, it is. If one deer crosses in front of you, slow down even more since a second one will probably be crossing as well.

Even with great eyesight, plenty of lead time and all the tips in the world, things still happen. That’s when having great car insurance with an agency like PMA Insurance Services, LLC can help Northern Virginia area drivers stay on the road. If you’re concerned about what your car insurance covers and whether you have enough insurance to fiscally protect you, give us a call today. We can be reached at (703) 449-1327.
