Insurance coverage for coastal properties in select states.

"We are excited to be working with Palomar to bring this new offering to our brokers," said Matthew Woodrow, Senior Vice President of Product Development at Distinguished. "Coastal properties are known for being harder to insure and this new coverage will play a pivotal role in helping our brokers find the coverage they need."

This program offers flexible initial policy terms (up to 24 months) with extensions available. Beachfront and barrier island properties are acceptable. Additional coverages include named storm deductible, theft and vandalism coverage, debris removal and more.

"This new coastal coverage fits seamlessly with our general Builder's Risk Program," noted Katie Vespia, Managing Vice President of Builder's Risk Program at Distinguished."We've built our application process so that when brokers submit business through the Online Portal, Distinguished can determine whether it applies for coastal or general builder's risk coverage automatically. We have taken the guesswork out of the process so the brokers can get their quotes faster."

Brokers can submit business for the Distinguished Builder's Risk (Coastal and Non-Coastal) Program through the 24/7 Online Portal. Brokers must be registered first to submit.
