As an agency, we’ve cut our teeth on the construction industry. Our founders have 25 years of contract surety underwriting and management experience between them, and we’ve since added producers who bring 25 more.
On the insurance side, we possess strong technical knowledge of both contract specs and policy language. We’ve placed builders risk policies on projects into the hundreds of millions of dollars, and helped our clients craft solid subcontracts and navigate through onerous indemnification language. We’ve partnered with the national and regional insurance markets to obtain broadened coverage terms and competitive pricing on accounts of all types and sizes.

Recently Crain’s Detroit Business published a list of the top 100 privately held companies in Southeast Michigan. Among them were a dozen contracting firms. GUY HURLEY BLASER & HEUER does more business with those 12 firms than any other insurance agent or broker. We’re proud of that fact, but we don’t limit ourselves to just the ENR top 400 construction firms. We are always in the market for contractors seeking their first big bond, or spinning off from a larger firm.
We are problem solvers--whether we’re looking at the balance sheet of a contractor who’s trying to maintain surety capacity as the principal shareholder’s stock is redeemed, or pursuing coverage for a general liability claim that’s been denied. Meeting and exceeding our client’s expectations means finding solutions. Sometimes those solutions are buried in the fine print.
