Liberty Mutual has proven to provide stable and consistent premiums to its members, which insulates them from market fuctuations associated with the construction industry, while providing the broadest coverage available in the industry. In short, IDA members insuring with these OTHER programs often experienced rapidly increasing premiums, coverage restrictions, and sometimes, total non-availability of insurance. The IDAssurance Program offers the broadest insurance form in the marketplace. Liberty Mutual is the insurance carrier for many of the IDAssurance members and is sponsored by the International Door Association. TESTIMONIALS: The IDAssurance Program is a great service for its members and provided our company with competitive pricing and broader coverage. Andrew Stergiou and his staff respond immediately to all of our questions and forward the certifcates of insurance to our attention within 2 hour of the requests. They also provide the renewal quotes three weeks in advance (We were used to the other brokers coming in 24 hours before the policy expired). Not only did the program save us money on the policies, but it also allowed my offce staff to focus on our business. IDAssurance is a win- win program! We've been working with Andy and his staff for almost seven years now. It has been a pleasure ever y step of the way.
