Myth: A ‘Licensed’ Technician in Dandridge Could Mean Anything: Here’s What It Really Says About Your Repair Crew

Fact: Your Home Insurance Might Pay for More Than You Realize: If You Know the Right Questions to Ask Before a Claim
A ‘certificate of insurance’ isn’t just a piece of paper. It should name you as an ‘additional insured’ for the duration of the job, and the policy must cover property damage (not just worker injuries). Many Dandridge homeowners assume their homeowners’ policy will cover a botched repair, but insurers often deny claims if an unqualified technician caused the damage. We provide verified certificates upfront and carry $2 million in liability coverage, so your Dandridge driveway stays intact after we leave.
