The Hidden Risk in Your Construction Project—and How Ymbia Keeps You Protected
How Ymbia eliminates the risk of uninsured contractors and gives you peace of mind.
The Moment That Changes Everything
It was supposed to be a dream renovation. Sarah had spent months saving for her new kitchen, envisioning family dinners and gatherings with friends. She’d hired a contractor who seemed reputable, paid the deposit, and watched as the demolition began.
But two weeks into the project, disaster struck. One of the workers accidentally damaged a water line, causing a flood that ruined her hardwood floors and seeped into her basement. When Sarah tried to file a claim, she found out the contractor’s insurance had lapsed months before. The responsibility—and the $25,000 repair bill—landed squarely on her shoulders.
Sarah isn’t alone. According to a recent industry survey, 63% of homeowners fail to verify contractor insurance before starting a project, leaving them vulnerable to financial and legal risks. The process of manually checking insurance can be confusing, time-consuming, and, for many, simply overlooked.
The Anxiety of the “What If”
For homeowners and project managers alike, the fear of the unknown can feel overwhelming. What if the contractor’s insurance is fake? What if it’s expired? What if something goes wrong, and you’re left footing the bill?
Traditionally, verifying contractor insurance requires:
- Requesting Certificates of Insurance (COI): Often a tedious back-and-forth via email or phone.
- Cross-checking policy details: Ensuring the coverage dates and amounts align with your project’s needs.
- Following up continuously: Making sure no details slip through the cracks.
It’s a frustrating process, especially for homeowners who may not fully understand what to look for. And the stakes couldn’t be higher: without proper insurance, you could face tens of thousands of dollars in liability for accidents, property damage, or injuries.
