COVERAGE GAPS
3 critical gaps · 2 uninsured properties · 1 dangerous sublimit
GAP 01 — 26 Sleepy Hollow Rd, Gloucester: Zero Property Coverage
CRITICAL
This property carries liability-only coverage. There is no dwelling coverage, no contents coverage, no other structures coverage. A fire, storm, flood, or any other property loss results in zero insurance recovery. The Chubb Masterpiece form makes it trivially easy to add Deluxe House Coverage — this is almost certainly an oversight or a temporary policy decision that was never revisited. Given Gloucester's coastal exposure, this is one major hurricane away from a complete uninsured loss.
$0 property recovery on total loss
IMMEDIATE ACTION
Contact Brown & Brown immediately. Request replacement cost appraisal for Gloucester property and add Deluxe House Coverage. Also request flood zone determination — if in Zone AE, NFIP or private flood required.
GAP 02 — 17 Bayle Lane, Gloucester: Zero Property Coverage
CRITICAL
Identical situation to 26 Sleepy Hollow. Liability-only. No dwelling, no contents. Two uninsured Gloucester properties on the same policy — both facing coastal Atlantic weather risk, both with zero property recovery if damaged or destroyed. The $57 annual premium for each confirms this is liability-only. A proper insured coastal property at this level would carry $2,000–$8,000+ annually.
$0 property recovery on total loss
IMMEDIATE ACTION
Same action as 26 Sleepy Hollow — appraisal, add coverage, flood determination. Request Chubb to quote both Gloucester properties for Deluxe House Coverage in one endorsement.
GAP 03 — Mold / Wet Rot Sublimit: $10,000 on a $9.7M Lincoln Estate
CRITICAL
The standard Chubb Masterpiece mold sublimit is $10,000. For a high-value estate on wooded Lincoln, MA land — with mature trees, a high water table, and wet New England seasons — a meaningful mold event can cost $50,000 to $250,000 in professional remediation, air quality testing, and reconstruction. The policy itself includes a notice saying you can request an increased limit before renewal. That request was apparently never made.
$40K–$240K uninsured mold exposure
RENEWAL ACTION
Request mold sublimit increase to $100,000 minimum. Chubb allows this subject to underwriting — requires property inspection. Cost impact: typically $300–$800/yr additional premium. Also install moisture sensors and whole-house dehumidification documentation to support the request.
Extended Replacement Cost Cap — Verify Percentage
HIGH
Dwelling limit is $9,687,000. Extended Replacement Cost pays above this — but the cap percentage determines your real maximum. MA construction costs are up 35%+ since 2020. A full rebuild of a custom Lincoln estate could hit $12M–$14M. If the cap is 25%, you're at $12.1M max — potentially not enough.
No Flood Coverage Confirmed — Any Property
HIGH
No flood coverage appears in this policy for any of the three properties. The Gloucester properties have coastal Atlantic exposure. Lincoln MA has wetland zones near Round Hill Rd. Request flood zone determination for all three. If in Zone AE, flood coverage is effectively required.

HOME SAFEGUARDS
31 Round Hill Rd · 8 items need verification · Discounts at stake
Why safeguard documentation matters for Chubb Masterpiece
PREMIUM IMPACT
Chubb already applied discounts for burglar alarm, fire alarm, and lightning protection. Documenting additional safeguards — whole-house sprinkler, water sensors, generator — can unlock further premium credits and reduce claim risk on a $9.7M home where even a partial loss is measured in hundreds of thousands of dollars.

WATER IS THE #1 RISK HERE
A $9.7M estate without documented leak detection is the highest-probability expensive claim profile. A single pipe burst or appliance failure at this home can easily exceed $200,000 in water damage and contents loss before remediation begins.
SAVINGS OPPORTUNITIES
3 identified opportunities · Reduce risk + reduce premium
$1,800/yr
Leak Detection + Sprinkler Certification
Installing a certified whole-house water sensor system and documenting the sprinkler system (if present) unlocks additional Chubb protective device credits on the Lincoln property. Estimated 4–6% additional premium reduction on dwelling component.

Jewelry Reappraisal Program
5 high-value items are flagged for reappraisal. If current market values have declined from scheduled amounts, right-sizing those items reduces your premium. If they've appreciated, you'll be adequately covered — and avoid underinsurance disputes at claim time.

$900/yr
Annual Policy Review with Agent
Chubb explicitly recommends annual review with your agent. Two uninsured Gloucester properties suggest this hasn't been done recently. A structured annual review typically surfaces $500–$2,000 in premium adjustments and coverage corrections.

RENEWAL BRIEFING
Renewal date Jan 15, 2026 — past due · Brown & Brown, Dedham MA
Renewal has passed — Jan 15, 2026. Mid-term endorsements are the path.
ACT NOW
The policy renewed January 15, 2026. The three critical gaps — two uninsured Gloucester properties and the $10K mold sublimit — should have been addressed at renewal but were not. These can still be corrected via mid-term endorsement. Contact Brown & Brown immediately. Chubb's endorsement process is straightforward for existing Masterpiece clients.
Action Plan — What to Do Now
VELA STRATEGY · FEB 2026
THIS WEEK — FEBRUARY 2026
Call Brown & Brown — request Gloucester property coverage
Request a replacement cost appraisal for both 26 Sleepy Hollow Rd and 17 Bayle Lane. Ask Brown & Brown to add Deluxe House Coverage via mid-term endorsement. Also request flood zone determination for all three properties. This is urgent — every day without coverage is uninsured exposure.
MARCH 2026
Request mold sublimit increase — 31 Round Hill Rd
Contact agent to request mold remediation sublimit increase from $10,000 to $100,000. This requires underwriting acceptance and possibly a property inspection. The Chubb policy itself warns you this option exists — take it. Install moisture sensors before the request to strengthen the underwriting file.
MARCH–APRIL 2026
Jewelry reappraisals — priority items
Commission updated appraisals for Items 8 (6.31ct ring, $227K), 9 (chandelier earrings, $64K), 13 (platinum diamond bracelet, $48K), 23 (S. Sea pearl necklace, $67K), and 24 (platinum bracelet, $45K). Also resolve Item 20 Burma ruby documentation with jeweler and attorney. Submit updated schedule to Brown & Brown before next renewal.
BEFORE JANUARY 2027 RENEWAL
Full policy review — verify Extended Replacement Cost cap
Request the Chubb appraisal underlying the $9,687,000 dwelling limit. Confirm the Extended Replacement Cost cap percentage. With Boston-area construction up 35%+ since 2020, the limit may need adjustment. Document all safeguards installed during the year for renewal discount credit.
JANUARY 2027 — RENEWAL
Target outcome
All three properties properly insured. Mold sublimit at $100K. Jewelry schedule current. Leak detection installed and credited. Replacement cost confirmed. KYB score target: 85+.
