AI assessment for underwriter review — advisory only. It contains no pricing: any premium shown anywhere on this page is a figure the broker submitted, not one the AI produced. Generated Oct 2, 2026 11:41 AM using gpt-5.6-luna.
Operations
Window World of Baton Rouge LLC operates a multi-state window, door and siding business from a Baton Rouge office/showroom and storage facility. The submission describes distribution, claimed door/window manufacturing, in-home estimates, product demonstrations, window and door installation, and subcontracted construction work. It reports $135,000,000 annual sales, $16,559,500 payroll, $18,000,000 subcontracted cost and 140 full-time employees. The schedule also includes small showrooms, office/warehouse locations, two hay-producing agricultural properties totaling approximately 638 acres, vacant land, a leased antique-furniture retail premises, and a remote leased Colorado cabin associated with another LLC.
Risk narrative
Posture is refer and pend, not quote-ready. The dominant exposure is a large, multi-state window distribution and installation operation with $135,000,000 stated sales, $18,000,000 of subcontracted work, and recurring water-intrusion, faulty-installation, construction-defect and mold allegations. The submitted primary class is lessor’s-risk-only, while the facts describe active installation and possible manufacturing; the correct class and exposure basis are unresolved. The 15-location schedule contains agricultural, vacant-land, retail, warehouse and cabin exposures that are not rated. Loss data covers only four of five expected periods and mixes GL, auto, workers compensation and excess results. A federal court source describes an area-only coverage dispute involving alleged improper installation and water intrusion, not a carrier claim. BestPlaces scores of 55.00 at 70815 and 55.10 at nearby 70814 are advisory only.
Hazards severity and frequency graded separately — they drive different decisions
The AmTrust and Liberty records show repeated allegations involving leaking windows, faulty installation, water damage, mold and construction defects.
Controls noted: The submitted website states that installers are trained, trusted and insured. The schedule identifies installation operations and subcontracted work.
Control gaps: No documented installation quality-control program, inspection protocol, warranty controls, subcontractor qualification standards, written contracts, certificates of insurance, or completed-operations risk controls were supplied.
Off-premises residential work creates third-party property damage, bodily injury and completed-operations exposure beyond the showroom premises.
Controls noted: The website describes free in-home estimates, product demonstrations, installer visits and final installation.
Control gaps: No evidence of fall protection, ladder safety, employee training records, homeowner site-safety procedures, supervision, incident reporting or subcontractor oversight was supplied.
Several reported claims specifically attribute installation work to subcontractors, increasing transfer, control and completed-operations concerns.
Controls noted: The submission reports $18,000,000 paid to subcontractors and 11% of work subcontracted.
Control gaps: No subcontractor list, certificates, additional-insured requirements, indemnity agreements, hold-harmless language, licensing verification or quality-audit process was provided.
Customer traffic, stored materials, loading activity and shared parking can produce slip-and-fall, struck-by and property-damage claims across 15 locations.
Controls noted: The website provides operating hours for the Baton Rouge business; some public sources corroborate commercial showroom or warehouse use at scheduled addresses.
Control gaps: Construction, protection, square footage, occupancy configuration, maintenance responsibility, parking, common-area controls and premises inspection information are largely absent.
The hay-sale operations are materially different from the window business and may require separate classification, rating and coverage review.
Controls noted: The schedule identifies 380 acres at Bains and 258 acres at Saint Francisville with hay sales.
Control gaps: No equipment schedule, employee or contractor use, visitor exposure, fire controls, pesticide/fertilizer information, roadway access or agricultural liability controls were supplied.
Public property information conflicts with the vacant-lot description at 14017 Perkins Road and identifies an existing property and a commercial car-wash listing.
Controls noted: The schedule identifies vacant land at three locations and describes one Baton Rouge parcel as a 70-foot by 300-foot vacant lot.
Control gaps: No fencing, signage, inspection, trespass controls, maintenance responsibility or confirmation of actual physical condition was supplied.
The public-facing showroom and restoration activity create customer, fire-load, handling and premises-liability exposures outside the stated window operation.
Controls noted: The schedule identifies an 11,700-square-foot leased retail occupancy; official and established public sources corroborate Fireside Antiques at the address and describe showroom and restoration activity.
Control gaps: No lease, maintenance allocation, workshop processes, hot-work or fire controls, customer-flow controls or premises inspection was supplied.
The supplied auto history includes repeated employee-driving losses and a fatal one-vehicle accident, which may materially affect the excess tower even though this is a GL submission.
Controls noted: Auto loss runs were supplied and the account reports 140 full-time employees.
Control gaps: No vehicle schedule, driver controls, MVR standards, fleet safety program, hired/non-owned auto information or current auto underlying limits were supplied.
The cabin is remote, associated in the schedule with Bear Cave Cabin LLC, and may not be an exposure of the named insured.
Controls noted: The schedule identifies a 1,680-square-foot cabin and more than one acre leased from the U.S. Forest Service; a county tax-roll source corroborates recreational-cabin occupancy.
Control gaps: No lease, maintenance obligations, guest use, access, fire protection, emergency response or entity relationship documentation was supplied.
Overall grade 4/5. This is an elevated physical-operation risk with public access, residential installation, substantial subcontracting, completed-operations severity potential and a broad schedule containing agriculture, vacant land, retail and remote-premises exposures. The account is not catastrophe-severe on the supplied facts, but the operational breadth and auto history warrant senior review.
Catastrophe exposure
Multi-state CAT exposure is implied. Supplied public context reports potential FEMA Zone AE exposure at the Seminole, Florida and Metairie, Louisiana locations, and third-party modeled wind/flood exposure at the Saint Francisville property; these are not complete or official CAT determinations. Louisiana, Florida, Texas and Colorado locations should be geocoded and reviewed for wind, flood, hail, wildfire and remote-access implications.
Loss analysis Insufficient data4 yr(s) supplied
Four supplied periods reviewed, but one expected period is missing and the reports are not reconciled; frequency is watch-level with recurring installation-related property damage and insufficient trend data.
| Policy year | Claims | Paid | Reserved | Incurred |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2022-2023 (AmTrust GL) | 8 | $76,957 | — | $63,000 |
| 2023-2024 | — | — | — | — |
| 2024-2025 | — | — | — | — |
| 2025-2026 | — | — | — | — |
- High GL, auto, workers compensation and excess loss reports cannot be consolidated into a reliable account-level history.
- High Repeated window and door installation, water-intrusion, mold and construction-defect allegations match the core operation and indicate a recurring completed-operations cause.
- Moderate Loss runs cover 4 of 5 expected periods; the record is incomplete, not clean.
- Moderate Five open claims are reported, but the aggregate paid, incurred and reserve presentation is internally inconsistent and requires carrier-level reconciliation.
- Moderate The available loss reports have materially different valuation dates, including Liberty GL valued 03/13/2024.
Appetite view Refer
The deterministic guideline result is InAppetite for the submitted class, but the clearance is blocked. My underwriting view is Refer because the submitted class is not aligned with the active operations, the schedule contains materially different and potentially unrelated exposures, and the loss and tower information is incomplete. The account may fit after corrected classification, exposure allocation, controls and loss reconciliation; the present file does not support acceptance or a bindable quote.
The guideline rule returned InAppetite (UWGUIDE-61212-A-B3E88B7D). The rule is authoritative; this difference is shown so it can be considered, not overridden.
In favour
- The business reports 24 years in operation and a stated $135,000,000 annual sales base.
- The website evidences trained, trusted and insured installers, although the extent and quality of the control are not independently documented.
- The computed incurred-to-expiring-premium measure is 26.2%, and computed average incurred per claim is $7,875; these are favorable indicators subject to reconciliation.
- The requested $1,000,000/$2,000,000/$2,000,000 primary limits are within routine size, subject to confirmation and correct classification.
Concerns
- Class 61212 is lessor’s risk only, area-rated and subject to the insured not being responsible for care and maintenance; the core submission describes active distribution, installation, possible manufacturing and subcontracting.
- Dellwood guidance identifies class 61212 as hazard grade L and class 52134 as hazard grade M, with preferred attachment point P and maximum capacity M; the correct class must be resolved before relying on that guidance.
- Dellwood excess guidance requires scheduled underlying carriers generally to be rated A- VI or better and requires senior review of the tower and attachment.
- The 15-location schedule includes non-core agricultural, vacant-land, retail/workshop and remote-cabin exposures with incomplete rating information.
Business opportunity Win likelihood Low
The $135,000,000 revenue base, 15 locations and multi-line account offer meaningful brokerage opportunity, but the clearance is blocked, the effective term is unclear and current, and the broker has not supplied a quote-ready controlling submission. Multiple prior carriers and a disclosed expiring premium suggest renewal marketing, but the reason for shopping and competitive position are not established.
Why it is in the market. A specific shopping reason is not established. The file shows multiple prior carriers and a disclosed $240,260 expiring premium, which is consistent with a renewal or remarketing exercise but does not prove broad shopping.
The opportunity is attractive only after separating the core window operation from unrelated or insufficiently described premises and obtaining a coherent casualty tower. The submission quality and clearance block materially reduce near-term desk value.
Account rounding leads
- Commercial Property. The account owns or occupies offices, showrooms, storage, warehouse, agricultural and other scheduled premises, creating property and business-interruption opportunities subject to location verification.
- Workers Compensation. The account reports 140 full-time employees and supplied workers-compensation loss records.
- Commercial Auto. Loss records show employee-driving and vehicle accident activity, but no current vehicle schedule or auto structure was supplied.
- Umbrella/Excess Liability. Great American, Westfield and other excess information is present, but the requested participation, underlying limits and tower are unresolved.
- EPLI. A 140-employee operation creates employment-practices exposure even though no EPLI information was supplied.
- Cyber. If the sales and service operation holds customer, payment or homeowner project data, cyber coverage is a logical account-rounding lead; the submission does not establish the data environment.
Questions for the broker
- High Please provide the controlling current application and schedule and confirm the insured entity, all named and additional insured entities, and whether the 15 listed locations are all intended GL exposures.The account contains multiple entity, address, suite, ZIP and occupancy discrepancies that affect coverage and rating.
- High What operations are actually performed by Window World of Baton Rouge LLC versus affiliates or franchise entities: manufacturing, distribution, sales, installation, service and repair?This determines whether class 61212 is inapplicable and whether 52134, 91746, 91341 or other separate classes are needed.
- High Please confirm the exact annual gross sales, installation payroll, subcontracted cost and area or acreage for each applicable location, reconciling the stated $135,000,000 sales, $16,559,500 payroll, $18,000,000 subcontracted cost and 23 area exposure.The current rating input is not representative of the described multi-state operation.
- High Please provide a reconciled five-year loss schedule separating GL, auto, workers compensation and excess, and identify the current status and reserve of each open claim.The current reports show materially different claim counts and totals and cannot support experience rating or excess attachment.
- High What written controls govern subcontractor selection, licensing, certificates, additional insured status, indemnity, installation inspection and warranty callbacks?Subcontracted installation is a recurring cause in the reported claims and is the dominant completed-operations control issue.
- High Is the requested program primary GL only, primary plus excess, or a participation in an existing tower, and what are the underlying limits, attachment and scheduled carriers?The excess opinion and Dellwood capacity decision cannot be made without the tower structure.
- High Please confirm whether ISO GL class 91746 — Door, Window or Assembled Millwork - installation, service or repair - metal applies at location 1, and provide the annual payroll required by its authoritative rating basis (Payroll).The classification can be reviewed now, but a technical premium cannot be calculated until the underwriter confirms the class and the broker supplies its compatible exposure.
- High Please confirm whether ISO GL class 91341 — Carpentry - interior applies at location 1, and provide the annual payroll required by its authoritative rating basis (Payroll).The classification can be reviewed now, but a technical premium cannot be calculated until the underwriter confirms the class and the broker supplies its compatible exposure.
- High Please confirm whether ISO GL class 61212 — Buildings or Premises - bank or office - mercantile or manufacturing (lessor's risk only) - Other than Not-For-Profit applies, and provide the square footage or area required by the ISO class required by its authoritative rating basis (Area, Products/Completed Operations are included).The classification can be reviewed now, but a technical premium cannot be calculated until the underwriter confirms the class and the broker supplies its compatible exposure.
- Medium Does the named insured own or maintain the buildings and land at each listed premises, particularly 14007 and 14017 Perkins Road, the agricultural properties and the Fireside Antiques location?Maintenance responsibility affects the applicability of lessor’s-risk classification and the premises exposure.
- Medium Is the Colorado cabin and land exposure owned or leased by the named insured, or solely by Bear Cave Cabin, LLC, and is short-term or guest use involved?This may be an unrelated entity or a distinct remote-premises liability exposure requiring separate treatment.
- Medium Please confirm the correct ZIP and suite for the Houston, Lafayette, Richardson and Seminole locations and provide current premises contact information.Public records identify ZIP, suite or municipal-address differences that affect inspection, geocoding and coverage schedule accuracy.
- Medium Please confirm whether current loss runs and litigation disclosures include the federal installation coverage dispute and any Florida auto litigation.The public sources are not carrier claims, but confirmation may affect prior litigation, completed-operations and auto underwriting.

What this assessment could not establish. The assessment is based on an incomplete and partially truncated submission. Loss reports mix carriers, lines, policy periods and programs and should not be combined beyond the authoritative computed metrics. The Great American excess report is image-only in the supplied text, and some public property sources are secondary or unverified. The public area-only court and docket items are not carrier claims and are not attributed to scheduled premises. No reliable premises-specific public incident was established. BestPlaces crime scores are advisory context only; unavailable ZIP scores and additional source-page detail were not established. Pricing is provisional, uses the disputed 23.00 area input and the AQUA ISO GL $500 minimum-premium assumption, and is not a bindable quote.
The supplied material contains no ACORD application or other controlling source for the insured address, policy term, requested limits, deductible, revenue, payroll, or locations. Several loss-run summaries identify addresses and loss sites, but those addresses cannot be adopted as the controlling insured or mailing address.
Use the verified mailing or principal address selected by BPO, and record the other address as an explanation if needed.
The structured batch extraction document was truncated, so additional attachment names, pages, loss totals, or application values may be present in omitted content and could not be independently reconciled.
Choose and record the value that should control the submission.
The authoritative shortlist has no clearly matching window-installation or home-improvement contractor classification. 95625 Handyperson is the closest available candidate but is provisional and may not reflect construction-related window installation or subcontracted work.
Use the policy dates confirmed by BPO as applying to this submission.
The structured extraction results report participation as Both in one batch result, while other extracted results show participation as null and no underlying application page is available to verify the requested primary and excess structure.
Choose and record the value that should control the submission.
Loss-history results conflict materially because they represent different carriers, lines of business, policy periods, and possibly underlying versus excess programs. Examples include AmTrust, Great American, Liberty Mutual, and Old Republic totals. A single consolidated claim count or total incurred amount cannot be determined from the supplied batch results.
Use the policy dates confirmed by BPO as applying to this submission.
The attachment filenames reference ACORD 131 or ACORD 147, but the rendered/content descriptions identify carrier loss-run or claim-register reports rather than visibly printed ACORD forms. No ACORD form data should be used for applicant, coverage, location, or exposure fields.
Choose and record the value that should control the submission.
