Wood Products Insurance
First Underwriters Insurance Brokers provide insurance protection for building material dealers, hardware stores, cabinet manufacturing, moulding & millwork, wood flooring manufacturing, woodworking shops, pallet manufacturing, sawmills, and lumberyards.
Sawmills contend with threats to expensive inventories that are exposed, quite literally, to distinct environmental and human dangers. Add to that the evolving challenge of keeping compliant with state regulations. Operating a lucrative and safe dealership takes experience and a lot of work.
At First Underwriters’, we take the wheel. Our experience comes from serving franchised and independent auto dealers in Western United States. We know that keeping your business protected from costly claims and higher insurance rates involves more than an insurance policy. That means avoiding claims so your insurance never gets triggered.
Not only do we place your coverage with an insurer that offers policies crafted for auto dealers, we also help control your losses by providing risk management programs refined over years of implementation. These programs are directed by our First Underwriters’ Loss Control Specialists. We put programs in place after accessing your areas of risk and use methods that combine education, training, communications, audits and quarterly reviews to make adjustments. And should you have a loss, we help resolve your claim efficiently and look for patterns that can be broken to prevent future losses.
