Distinguished Programs (Distinguished), a national insurance program manager, today officially announces the expansion of Coastal Builder's Risk coverage to five additional states – Alabama, Hawaii, Mississippi, Rhode Island and commercial properties only in Texas. The Distinguished Coastal Builder's Risk Program covers all risks for brand new construction, remodeler's risk and betterments only projects in select states.
"When we launched the Coastal Builder's Risk program last year, the broker response was incredible, Available coverage in the market is shrinking, and brokers need options for these harder-to-insure properties. We are thrilled to introduce our comprehensive Coastal Builder's Risk program to brokers in these new states."
- Katie Vespia, Managing Vice President of Builder's Risk Program at Distinguished
