Check the insurances

To protect you, the craftsman must take out a “damage and construction” insurance policy, which is complementary to the ten-year guarantee. This guarantee covers the cost of work carried out during the ten-year guarantee period. Moreover, the professional must also subscribe to certain insurances such as:
