Maverick

What Maverick does

Maverick is a specialty insurance and warranty provider serving exclusively the residential home building industry in the United States. Founded in 1989 and headquartered in St. Petersburg, Florida (with an Atlanta, Georgia presence noted in firmographic records), the company delivers Builder's Risk, General Liability, Workers' Compensation, and Auto insurance alongside insurance-backed structural, systems, and workmanship warranties. It serves more than 2,000 builders ranging from startups to enterprise-level production operators, with named accounts including Jagoe Homes, Alair Homes, Eastwood Homes, and Paytas Homes (the last of which has been a customer for approximately 30 years).

The product portfolio spans three lines: Insurance for Home Builders, Builder Warranty Coverage, and HomeCare, a first-year homeowner support service that manages post-close communication, service requests, and follow-up. Maverick's underlying technology includes the Beacon claims processing system for end-to-end warranty claim handling and a mobile self-service portal (mobile.maverickbuilders.com) that supports warranty transfers, certificate-of-insurance requests, and service request management. Operating geography is concentrated in the Southeast United States, and the company markets under the DBA "Maverick Risk" with HomeCare positioned as a sub-brand.

Maverick generates revenue primarily through recurring insurance premiums across the construction lifecycle, supplemented by warranty premiums and professional services fees from HomeCare administration. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and all products require quote-based consultation; policies are structured to align coverage across pre-construction, construction, and post-close phases. The go-to-market motion is consultative direct sales targeting home builders exclusively, supported by content marketing through the company's website and newsletter and reinforced by customer testimonials. No public revenue figures, funding rounds, M&A activity, or AI/technology partnerships are disclosed in the available source material.

Direct peers

• 2-10 Home Buyers Warranty: 2-10 HBW is one of the largest direct competitors in the U.S. new-home builder warranty market, offering structural and systems warranties plus insurance-aligned builder services. It is the most direct functional analog to Maverick's Builder Warranty Coverage and HomeCare offerings, competing for the same home builder customer segment with similar lifecycle coverage positioning.
• StrucSure Home Warranty: StrucSure is a specialty structural warranty provider serving residential home builders and developers, closely mirroring Maverick's insurance-backed warranty product. It competes head-to-head on workmanship, systems, and structural defect coverage for new construction, making it a core comparable in the builder warranty vertical.
• Professional Warranty Service Corporation: PWSC provides new-home warranty programs and risk-management services specifically for residential builders. Its product set overlaps directly with Maverick's Builder Warranty Coverage and post-construction warranty administration, positioning it as a focused competitor in the same niche.
• Forterra (formerly Builders Insurance Group): Forterra is a specialty property and casualty insurer focused on residential construction, offering builder's risk, general liability, and related coverages to home builders. Its product overlap with Maverick's Insurance for Home Builders line makes it a direct functional peer in builder-focused insurance underwriting.

Broad incumbents

• Liberty Mutual Insurance: Liberty Mutual is a national P&C carrier that offers builder's risk, general liability, and workers' comp products among its broad commercial portfolio. While not builder-specialized, it competes with Maverick at the enterprise builder level where larger builders sometimes prefer national carriers for scale and multi-state capabilities.
• Travelers: Travelers is a large national P&C insurer with construction and builder's risk product offerings within its commercial insurance portfolio. It competes for larger builder accounts and represents the broad-incumbent alternative to Maverick's specialty-builder positioning.
• QBE North America: QBE offers builder's risk and commercial construction insurance through its specialty P&C division. While serving many industries, its builder's risk product competes with Maverick's during-construction coverage, particularly for mid-market and larger builder accounts.
• ICW Group: ICW Group is a P&C carrier with a strong focus on construction and builders, offering workers' comp, general liability, and builder's risk products. Its construction-segment focus makes it a closer comparable than most broad incumbents, competing with Maverick for mid-market builder relationships.
• Crum & Forster: Crum & Forster is a specialty P&C insurer with builder's risk and construction coverage capabilities within its broader portfolio. It serves construction accounts of varying sizes, overlapping with Maverick's builder's risk product line in the during-construction phase.
• Cincinnati Insurance Companies: Cincinnati Financial offers a wide range of commercial P&C products including coverage for contractors and builders through independent agents. It competes with Maverick for builder business via agency distribution, serving as a broad incumbent alternative for construction insurance needs.
