In that case, Umstead Construction Company was insured, at various times, by both Builders Mutual and by Maryland Casualty Co. Umstead performed some renovation and repair work on a house on Figure Eight Island, and poor workmanship caused the home to experience water drainage issues and rot, damaging the home’s interior, marble terraces, and decks.
