OK - I have a quick update. I just got a new policy through CoverWallet and my new carrier is STARR, it's even cheaper than I paid with Hartford. I'm not in anyway trying to sell and I have nothing to gain I'm just giving a quick update. I'd like to thank all of you for the help & guidance once...

It's not a matter of having vehicles on my property or in my shop, it's the graphics being applied to vehicles. I don't even offer wraps and that's what I was flagged for. I asked if they could ad something to my policy and they said 'NO" and that was the end of the conversation. I talked to...

I need general liability insurance for my sign company that includes vehicle graphics. I just got a letter from my insurance company (The Hartford) that they won't renew my policy because they saw truck graphics on my website. Who do you use or recommend? thank you!

I asked about that "garage keeper" and they said the issue was the graphics applied to the vehicle. I asked about adding that to my quote and they just don't offer anything for that. There must be tons of claims about the graphics or application harming vehicles. My broker claims it's because...

We live way out in the sticks, can't see a neighbor from our property. Our home/horse ranch is zoned for home business and I don't believe has anything to do with my current situation. This is just a issue with my insurance company not wanting to cover vehicle graphics and not code violations...

YES - that's what they used as grounds to dump me. Nowhere does it mention wraps on the webpage. I removed all the pictures and replaced with a car and the graphics photoshopped on it. I don't know if that makes any difference to them.

I just tried to get a quote from HISCOX Insurance company and had the same issue. Once I mentioned I put cut vinyl on some truck doors the conversation ended. I told her it's not a wrap, just some vinyl that can be easily removed. She said they don't cover any applied to a vehicle. So, this must...

I had one customer recently who claimed to be a graphic artist, BIG RED FLAG. She had a new pontoon boat she wanted the name on it and with shark graphic. No big deal, I'll take a few pictures and measurements and shoot over some layout options. Well, she wanted me to know she's very picky and...

I went through a couple audits with them too. I admit I blew off one or two over the last ten years, nothing changed so I didn't respond. Ughhh, maybe that's why I'm on their radar. This "wraps" thing sounds like a stupid reason to cancel my policy. I asked if they could just make a adjustment...

We have Mixed Use Estate that allows for a home based business. I'm a Lic. Contractor and really don't have a need for a store front. I mostly do signs that I install, I just go to them for the site survey and handle all the layout & proposals through email. Our Home owners insurance covers my...

Yes, my website does talk about cut vinyl on vehicles and does have a few pictures. They went to my website and determined it's a vehicle wrap even though nowhere do I mention wraps. Very frustrating!

I got a letter from the Hartford Insurance Co. They said they won't renew my policy because they think I offer vehicle wraps. I've had them for ten years, never had a claim or any issues. I don't off vehicle wraps, only cut vinyl on a few trucks a year. They didn't care when I told them I don't...

Maybe a little acetone or thinner in the letters will smooth the tool marks.

Look, I know a lot about making "new" signs and forgive me for wanting to learn something new. I can learn from making mistakes or I can do some research...I didn't ask how to bid the job, just some advise on paints. I'm not looking for short cuts and I certainty haven't argued with anyone or...

Thank you guys so much for all the great input. I have a 3 year contract with Sarasota County Parks Dept. and I LOVE IT! My first proposal for this sign was to give it a whole new look and fresh wood all the way around, but they had their minds made up to just refurbish the old sign. I warned...

it's a county owned sign and I bid it appropriately to cover all the labor & materials. I can replace the border as needed (I think I'll just replace the whole border trim so it matches) the small 2x8 sign on the bottom has plastic letters that are in good shape. I'm going to mask those off and...

No, unfortunately I have to do all the work on location. Is the Mathews paint a LATEX? I'd like to do latex because it dries so much faster & easy cleanup. Thank you for the help!!!

I am going to repaint several old signs and need some tips. I tried desperately to get them to buy a new sign, but they won't go for it. The old paint is oxidized and has some mold ( the wood has rot too) - the sign has raised wood letters on a plywood background. There's no hose or water access...

Yes. I live in FL and had to get a contractor Lic. to make ANY change to a sign. I have to register separately for each city I work in and the permits are outrageously high. When I first started my company I was focused on vehicle graphics and real estate signs. I had to diversify when the...

This is my first post, yeah!!! I need some input on a upcomming project. I need to remove GEMINI or PRONTO letter tracks from a plex pan faced sign. The plex in HUGE and I can not remove it from the building. I think the tracks have been glued on the sign face. So...what do you think? Chip them...
