Insurance: Vandalism And Burglary Claims

Vandalism and malicious mischief are named perils in most homeowners and commercial property policies. The claim requires a police report, documentation of all damage, and an itemized repair scope. DH Construction prepares Xactimate-based estimates for vandalism losses that meet carrier standards and capture everything from broken window glass to damaged interior finishes.

For commercial properties, vandalism claims may also involve business interruption considerations when access or operations are compromised during repairs. Our project managers prioritize rapid turnaround to minimize downtime.

HOW WE WORK

Immediate Steps After Vandalism Or A Break-In

The sequence matters when dealing with vandalism or burglary damage.

1

Call Law Enforcement

File a police report and get a case number. Your insurer requires this for a vandalism or theft claim.

2

Photograph Everything

Document all damage before any cleanup. More photos are always better than fewer.

3

Call DH Construction

If you are in the Sacramento, CA area, we provide 24/7 emergency board-up and site security to restore physical security immediately.

4

Contact Your Insurer

Report the loss and reference the police report number. DH Construction can assist with the documentation.

5

Begin The Reconstruction Process

Once the scope is approved, DH Construction rebuilds all damaged systems.

!

Do Not Clean Up Until You Have Documentation

Don’t clean up before documenting. Insurance adjusters need to see the damage as it occurred. Premature cleanup can create gaps in your claim.

Frequently Asked Questions: Vandalism And Burglary

Does homeowner’s insurance cover vandalism and burglary damage?

Yes, most standard homeowner’s policies include vandalism and malicious mischief as covered perils. Commercial property policies typically include vandalism coverage as well, though policy terms vary. DH Construction prepares complete documentation of all damage; structural, finish, and systems; so your claim captures the full scope of the loss.

What should I do first after discovering a break-in or vandalism?

First, contact law enforcement and get a police report number; your insurer will require it. Don’t enter the structure if you have reason to believe it’s structurally compromised. Then call DH Construction. We provide emergency board-up and site security to restore physical security while the insurance process begins. Photograph everything before any cleanup if it’s safe to do so.

Can you handle graffiti removal as part of a vandalism claim?

Yes. Graffiti removal is part of our vandalism restoration scope, including removal from masonry, stucco, wood, metal, and glass surfaces. We document the graffiti with photos before removal and include it in the insurance scope as part of the vandalism loss.

A burglar damaged multiple areas of my property, getting in and out. Does insurance cover all of it?

The damage caused by forced entry, such as broken windows, kicked-in doors, damaged door frames, and forced locks, is covered as part of a vandalism or burglary claim, separate from any contents theft. DH Construction documents all structural and finish damage caused by the break-in, not just the primary entry point. Multiple damage locations are included in a single claim scope.
