Insurance
There are a number of factors to consider when searching for the right contractor for your upcoming project. You’ll need to think about budget, of course, and you will need to find contractors who have experience with the type of work you need to have completed. However, before you get to those points, you’ll want to first screen your candidates on one simple requirement – insurance.
Insurance: A Non-Negotiable Point
Any reputable, experienced contractor that you consider is going to carry the proper insurance policies. If you come across contractors without insurance, simply move right along to the next choice. The contractor may have plenty of excuses as to why they don’t have a policy, but don’t buy those stories – no insurance means no deal. It’s just that simple.
Bonding: Going Above and Beyond
As a construction company serving the Houston area for more than three decades, you can be sure that Derk Harmsen Construction Co., Inc. carries all of the appropriate insurance policies to cover our work and our people. But we don’t stop there. We also have a bonding limit of $1,500,000 for individual jobs, and $3,000,000 aggregate.
Bonding guarantees the successful completion of a job, so you can rest assured that you will be happy with the results when you contract with Derk Harmsen Construction Co., Inc. For large projects that go beyond these bonding limits, we are able to negotiate on a per-contract basis to provide the necessary coverage.
Experience Modification Rates (EMR): An Excellent Track Record
Just like any other kind of insurance, business insurance policies are evaluated for risk and rated appropriately as a result. Thanks to our strong track record and above average claim history, Derk Harmsen Construction Co., Inc. is proud to carry a strong Experience Modification Rate (EMR). You can take this as a sign that you are in good hands right from the start of any new project.
