Your commercial property represents a large investment—your building, equipment, inventory, and fixtures all face risks from fire, weather, theft, or vandalism. Rhode Island Commercial Property Insurance ensures these physical assets are protected. At Segreve & Hall, we help you build a policy customized to RI climate and regulation so you can manage risk and stay resilient when unexpected damage occurs.
Rhode Island Commercial Property Insurance That Shields Your Business Assets
Trusted by Businesses for 30+ years 
Core Property Coverage You Need in Rhode Island
Protection for building, equipment, inventory, and more
Essential coverages for your Rhode Island commercial property include:
- Building structure damage (fire, wind, hail)
- Business personal property (equipment, furniture, inventory)
- Tenant improvements and betterments
- Automatic sprinkler leakage and vandalism coverage
- Debris removal and cleanup after covered loss
These coverages safeguard what you’ve invested in—keeping your business running after loss or damage.
Business Income & Extra Expense Coverage
Stay afloat during downtime or rebuild periods
When property damage forces closure, lost revenue and fixed costs can pile up fast. Coverage like business income insurance helps replace profits during interruption. Extra expense insurance helps cover costs of temporary locations or operations until your business is back in full swing. Rhode Island properties exposed to storms, coastal flooding, or hurricane damage benefit significantly from these add‑ons.
Regulations, Ratings & State‑Based Protections
Policies that align with Rhode Island rules and weather‑related risk factors
Rhode Island has specific weather and regulatory conditions you need to consider:
- Rhode Island’s Insurance Regulation includes Property Insurance and Weather Related Claims (230‑RICR‑20‑05‑13) governing wind/storm loss process and hurricane deductibles.
- Commercial property insurers must file forms and rates with the RI Department of Business Regulation’s Insurance Division. Exemptions and disclosures exist depending on risk class and property use.
- The Fair Access for Insurance Requirements Association (FAIR Plan) (RIJRA) offers coverage for properties that are hard to insure through standard markets. Businesses that are denied standard coverage may turn to RIJRA.
Because Rhode Island experiences coastal storms and flood potential, understanding regulatory terms and coverage requirements, and where policies draw fixed or variable deductibles, is vital.

I recently rewrote my auto, homeowners and umbrella policies with Segreve and Hall, who came highly receommended. Working with Sean was very straightforward and efficient. All questions were answered, in a very professional manner. A significant savings over the policies my former agent had me in for identical coverage. Very happy with the interaction and result.
I have been a client of Segreve and Hall for some time now. I have had nothing but great experiences and interactions with the team at Segreve and Hall. Dan St. Pierre has always been my go to point of contact. Recently, Dan was out and Fin and Michael Brandolini helped me transfer an auto policy. As always the team was great. They quickly worked through the process and got me into a new policy. They have all of my insurance business and I am grateful.
Excellent experience with Segreve & Hall Insurance Associates! Thomas went above and beyond to make sure I had the right coverage and everything was accurate. He also helped resolve an issue with my renters insurance by quickly updating the documentation multiple times, which saved me from unnecessary charges by my apartment complex. The team was always responsive, professional, and genuinely cared about getting everything right. Highly recommend!
Three generations of my family are insured through Segreve and Hall, and I cannot speak more highly of the service Thomas has provided for us recently. When I needed my car insured after moving back to MA, he took care of everything. It is hard to come by a trustworthy company like Segreve and Hall that consistently exceeds expectations and is so responsive and transparent at the same time. Highly recommend these folks for any and all insurance needs!

We recently transferred over our insurance and received prompt, kind, and professional support throughout the process. Thomas S made everything easy and took the time to answer our questions clearly. We really appreciated the smooth experience and excellent customer service.
I have been working with S&H insurance for the past few years; I have insured multiple properties and autos. S&H has provided me excellent service, prices and has been responsive to all the questions I had throughout the years. Sean, Dan, Ashley and other staff have been excellent with the attitude and friendliness to work with. They have even asked me to provide my kids school transcript in order to help us reduce the cost of the insurance. They have gone above and beyond in service compared to many insurance companies I have dealt with in the past. They have provided me with many quotes from different sources to compare prices and made the process easy to select the right insurance for us. I would recommend S&H Insurance company to anyone because of the responsiveness, knowledge and reliability.

Always great to work with Segreve & Hall. The people there are fantastic, professional and they help make the process simple and stress free. Second time getting a different policy and both times went smoothly. This recent policy was a commercial policy and I was assisted by Paulo. He was extremely helpful and worked diligently to get me the best price possible. Given the current insurance market conditions I’m extremely satisfied with the premium I received. Top notch customer service. More importantly the continued customer support they provide. Highly recommend Segreve and Hall.
Segreve Hall insurance made the process of getting insurance easy. We checked with multiple agencies and firms, however Thomas helped us find the best deal for our new home. He was extremely responsive and patient with us throughout the whole process. We will definitely be going to them for any of our insurance needs.
I had a great experience working with Segreve & Hall Insurance, especially with Paulo Botelho. I checked with a few different agencies, but this one truly went above and beyond. Paulo was super helpful, responsive, and found me excellent prices—especially with having multiple policies. The whole process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend!
I was looking for a commercial auto policy and found Segreve & Hall online. I decided to give them a try based on their excellent reviews. I spoke with Dan St. Pierre first, and provided information on the phone and via email. Within a couple of hours, Paulo Botelho sent me two very competitive quotes. I was already impressed by how responsive they were. Then I had several phone calls with Paulo on the following days, and went over the details. Since this was my first commercial policy, Paulo gave me a very good explanation of its differences from a personal one. He also helped adding the business name to the registry. It has been a great experience working with Paulo. I have no hesitation recommending Segreve & Hall to anyone with insurance needs. A job well done!
I was looking to change insurance and reduce our out of pocket expenses for both auto and homeowners. Paul Botelho came highly recommended to me and he did not disappoint. He advised what the best option would be and then he streamlined the change very quickly. He kept me informed of the process and answered all my questions promptly and was a wealth of knowledge. I would highly recommend Segreve and Hall as well as Paul.
Paulo was an awesome help! Helped me save hundreds on my auto insurance. 10/10 recommend doing business with him. I’ve already sent family members his way for insurance, and will continue to send anybody I know in need his way. Thanks again!

I dealt with Tom Segreve at Segreve & Hall when we wanted to compare different insurance companies for our homeowners and our auto policies. Tom was very helpful and checked several top insurance companies that they offer. He found us the right coverage and also saved us money! We highly recommend them!
Couldn't be more happy with the service I received from Brian Segreve at Segreve and Hall Insurance Associates. I recently bought my first home and he made getting my home and auto insurance easy and strait-forward, and I felt like he genuinely care about finding the best coverage for me and my family. All my questions were answered promptly, and everything was explained in a way that made sense. Highly recommend!
A relative referred me to S&H as I had indicated a change was needed with my current agent of 32yrs. I connected with Finn Collins at S&H and explained my situation and what I was hoping to do. He asked a few questions, I provided my coverage sheets and he took it home from there. He mapped all my options as requested to the T, made a few suggestions on gaps in my current plan and provided options all of which were better than my current rates but with more coverage. Too good to be true? I inquired on how drivers with near perfect driving records and a 30+yr relationship with existing carrier can get better rates with new carrier and no history. He provided industry white papers explaining how....Who knew? I do now. Thank you S&H and Thank you Finn C! I am passing on your info to my contacts!
