We had to get a very expensive policy through Foremost Insurance to cover it while we were working on it; that sucked but at least they covered us, right? Well, things just went to pieces once we moved in. No one (Nationwide, State Farm, etc) would insure us for a variety of reasons. First we had to complete the paint job. Or we need to clean up the yard. Or we needed a hand rail, etc. The message we got from all of this is this: unless your house is a brand new cookie cutter with risks associated with it as we define the rules, bugger off. Best of luck to you. I don’t know anything about builders insurance per se, but we had similar problems with our house.
