California Commercial Property Insurance

Apartment, Industrial, Commercial, Retail, Office Buildings

Building insurance for Apartments, Commercial, Industrial and Office Buildings protect the property owner against damage from Fire, Water Damage, Slip and Fall and Loss of Rental Income.

The cost to reconstruct damaged property is roughly $150 per square foot. It can exceed this amount in some areas. Most properties are under-insured which in the long run actually costs the property owner more than if the proper limit of coverage were purchased.

That’s why a SCM commercial property insurance policy will help you survive the loss of any vital property, whether large or small. With this policy, you will be protected for the replacement cost of all of your vital property.
