NJ Fence Installers Insurance: NJ-Specific Considerations
- XCU coverage — Explosion, Collapse, Underground. Post-hole digging strikes gas, water, electric, and telecom lines. Confirm XCU is on your GL — some policies exclude it by default.
- NJ One-Call — you’re required to call before you dig. Documentation matters at claim time.
- Pool fencing — NJ has specific barrier code requirements; installation-defect exposure if a non-compliant fence contributes to an incident.
- Property damage during install — damage to landscaping, irrigation, and adjacent structures is routine.
