What Commercial Property Insurance Covers
Commercial property insurance covers your building, business personal property, and loss of income when your business is damaged or destroyed.
Building Coverage
Covers the physical structure of your commercial building — walls, roof, floors, and permanently installed fixtures. Building coverage is based on replacement cost — what it would cost to rebuild, not market value.
Business Personal Property
Covers your furniture, equipment, inventory, and other business personal property inside your building. This is often the most valuable coverage for businesses that don't own their building.
Business Income / Loss of Income
If your business is forced to close due to a covered loss, business income coverage replaces your lost revenue and pays continuing expenses during the restoration period. This is often overlooked but critically important.
Equipment Breakdown
Covers sudden and accidental breakdown of mechanical and electrical equipment — HVAC, boilers, refrigeration, and manufacturing equipment. Equipment breakdown is often excluded from standard property policies.
Outdoor Signs and Property
Covers outdoor signs, fences, and other property not attached to your building. Oregon Coast businesses with outdoor signage and equipment need this coverage.
Coastal and Wildfire Endorsements
Oregon Coast properties face specific risks — wind-driven rain, salt air corrosion, and coastal flooding. Properties near the Cascades and Siskiyous face wildfire risk. We work with carriers who address these specific Oregon property risks.
Why Oregon Businesses Choose Gerald Ross Agency for Commercial Property
Oregon Property Expertise
We have been placing commercial property insurance for Oregon businesses since 1935. We understand the specific property risks Oregon businesses face — coastal exposure, wildfire, and Oregon's wet climate.
Coastal and Wildfire Markets
Standard carriers are increasingly restricting coverage for coastal and wildfire-exposed properties in Oregon. We have access to specialty markets who still write these properties correctly.
Independent Agency — Multiple Carriers
As an independent agency, we compare commercial property programs across multiple carriers to find the best combination of coverage and price for your property.
Local Claims Advocacy
When you have a property claim, a local agent handles it personally. We advocate on your behalf with the carrier to ensure you receive the full benefit of your coverage.
