During construction, builder’s risk insurance through SHW Insurance Services LLC safeguards against unforeseen events. This transferable warranty enhances your home’s marketability and offers long-term security.

| Phase | Duration | Coverage Details | Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full Coverage | Year 1 | Workmanship, materials, all systems | No-cost fixes; comprehensive peace of mind |
| Systems Protection | Years 2-10 | Electrical, plumbing, HVAC | Targets major operational components |
