Across California, commercial property owners are being blindsided by sudden insurance cancellations and skyrocketing premiums. From small retail buildings to multi-unit rentals and industrial spaces, insurers are pulling out of the market — leaving owners exposed, stressed, and unsure how to move forward.
If this is happening to you, you’re not alone. And you do have options.
At Romine Group, we work with commercial property owners throughout the Central Valley who are struggling with rising insurance costs, non-renewals, and policy cancellations that put their buildings — and their financial stability — at risk. Here’s what every owner needs to understand right now.
Why Insurance Cancellations Are Happening
Commercial insurance carriers are tightening underwriting standards due to:
Increased fire risk
Earthquake and flood exposures
Older roofs or aging systems
Vandalism and vacancy concerns
Claims history in the building or area
Insurer consolidation and market pullback
Even well-maintained properties are losing coverage through no fault of the owner.
The Cost of Doing Nothing
A cancelled policy doesn’t just leave your building unprotected; it can trigger:
Loan defaults with your bank
Required forced-placed insurance (which is extremely expensive)
Delays on sales or refinancing
Higher long-term premiums
Increased liability exposure for tenants, vendors, and visitors
Waiting even 30 days can mean thousands in additional costs.
What Commercial Owners Can Do Right Now
If your insurance is cancelled or not renewed, here are immediate steps that protect your building and your financial position:
1. Document All Property Conditions
Lenders and new carriers want updated information.Photos, repair logs, and maintenance records help strengthen your position.
2. Address the “Big 4”
Most cancellations come from:
Roof condition
Electrical system age and safety
Fire suppression / extinguishers
Security or vandalism risk
Correcting even one of these can reopen coverage options.
3. Explore Alternative Carriers
Standard carriers may pull out, but surplus-line carriers can still insure many building types.
4. Get a Property Assessment
A fast inspection can reveal issues you can fix before applying for new coverage.
5. Consider Selling Before Forced Insurance Hits
When premiums double or triple, many owners choose to exit before costs overwhelm the property.
