SAN FRANCISCO and BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Jan. 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- EPIC Insurance Brokers and Consultants, a retail property, casualty insurance brokerage and employee benefits consultant, announced today that Director of Construction Risk Services Jim Williford and Principal Wilson Long will present at International Roofing Expo on Monday, Feb. 11 at 7:45 a.m. at Music City Center in Nashville, Tenn.
The International Roofing Expo is the biggest, most influential trade event for the roofing construction and maintenance industry that provides total coverage of the innovative equipment, suppliers, resources, information and technologies that are shaping the future of the industry.
Few insurers focus on providing insurance to the roofing industry and some take standard policies and remove coverage by applying exclusions and limitations. In their presentation, "Roofing Industry's Common Insurance Coverage Gaps for YOU and YOUR Subcontractor," Williford and Long will highlight some common coverage gaps roofers may find in their insurance policies and how using a subcontractor may increase your risk.
