Cape Cod runs on seasonal homes, and those homes run on local tradespeople. Painters, carpenters, flooring installers, and caretakers spend the off-season inside other people’s houses while the owners are away. Most of these businesses carry general liability insurance and assume it covers any damage they cause on the job. There’s an important exception worth understanding before the next project starts.<\/p>\n
General liability policies commonly exclude damage to property in your “care, custody, or control,” along with damage to the specific part of a property you’re actively working on when that damage comes from your work. The policy is built to protect you from harming others, not to act as a guarantee on the item or area you’ve been hired to handle.<\/p>\n
