“Action-Over” Claims
Blake Johnson
Vice President
Minard-Ames Insurance Services LLC
As any contractor reading this article knows, and all too well, there are numerous challenges facing contractors today – finding qualified subs, poor or incorrect build specs, and the ever increasing cost of building materials. The ever present problems specifically related to construction insurance are such things as mold, EIFS (Exterior Insulated Finish System), subsidence, construction defects and, the subject of this particular tirade – action-over claims.

Founders Steven E. Minard and William “Wink” Ames view this partnership as strategic for the agency and its customers. “North American Group provides us the resources to better meet the needs of our customers and an excellent partner to help us reach the next level,” said Steve Minard, President of Minard-Ames Insurance Services LLC. Adds Wink Ames, “This partnership is the culmination of my dream, that the firm will go on for decades and decades even after Wink finally ‘goes fishing’, with just the same attention to the construction industry that Steve and I have spent the past 25 years building.”
