ROOFING CONTRACTORS
Pompano Beach, FL
In 1992, Robert Foote launched the roofing division at Frank H. Furman Inc. to provide disciplined risk management and insurance solutions to professional roofing contractors. Today, the agency’s roofing division, Roofing Risk Advisors, is licensed in 50 states, has 68 employees,
and is a trusted insurance and risk advisor for 109 roofing professionals.
“The challenge in our specialty is the limited insurance providers that are comfortable with the severity risk inherent in the roofing industry,” says Foote, the company’s president. “There are only a few select providers that have signifi cant market share in this class of business, as the insurance providers typically must have substantial premium scale in order to absorb severe losses.”
The agency is also actively involved in local, state and national roofi ng contractors’ associations in order to keep its advisors on the cutting edge of the roofi ng industry’s opportunities and threats.
“We have the opportunity to keep our finger completely on the pulse of the marketplace,” Foote says. “The market intelligence we gather on a daily basis allows us to communicate robustly with our roofing contractor clients.”
