The real threat isn’t always what caused the damage—it’s who’s going to pay for it.

In this episode, I sit down with David Mahoney, Esq. of Hinshaw & Culbertson LLP, a nationally recognized litigator and legal strategist in insurance defense and construction law. 🎙️⚖️

We talk about liability gaps, how contractors can accidentally waive their own coverage, and what really happens behind the scenes in construction-related claims. David explains how one missing word—or one misunderstood term—can shift thousands (or millions) in liability onto the wrong party. We also talk about risk transfer problems, and what both policyholders and subcontractors need to understand before they sign a contract—or step on a site.

If you work in construction, development, or insurance… this episode is a must.

Welcome to Episode 10 of Marcor Studios.

The damage may be done. But how you document it? That’s where the legal battle begins.

The policy says you’re covered. But when an employee gets injured, suddenly… you’re not.

In this episode, I sit down with Scott Salmonson, Esq., a second-generation litigator and partner at McIntyre, Donohue, Accardi, Salmonson & Riordan, LLP, to expose how workers’ comp really works—and why contractors and employees alike are blindsided when claims get denied. 🎙️📑

Scott shares stories from the field, from misclassified employees to uninsured job sites that ended in lawsuits, audits, and massive penalties. We talk about the difference between having a policy and actually having coverage—and what every employer should be doing now to protect themselves before an accident happens.

If you’re a contractor, business owner, or worker who thinks “I’m covered, I’m good,” this is the conversation you need to hear.

Welcome to Episode 9 of Marcor Studios.

Because when the accident happens, it’s too late to find out you weren’t protected.

You think your insurance policy has your back… until the denial hits your inbox.

Suddenly, you’re looking at a soaked kitchen, mounting damage, and a letter that says: not covered.

In this episode, I sit down with Scott Agulnick, Esq., second-generation litigator and founding partner of Agulnick Kremin, P.C., to talk about policy loopholes, common traps that sabotage valid claims, and what homeowners (and contractors) need to know before the damage happens. 🎙️⚖️

Scott pulls back the curtain on what really happens behind those closed-door settlements—and why having the right legal team is your biggest asset when things go sideways.

We also talk about my own insurance scare at home—and why even contractors with experience can get caught in the system if they don’t know the rules.

Welcome to Episode 8 of Marcor Studios. Because when it comes to disaster, trust isn’t in the paperwork—it’s in who shows up after.

The walls might look straight. The roof might not leak. But what happens when the foundation shifts… or mold sets in… or the crawlspace never got checked?

In this episode, I sit down with Joe "Sturdy" Villani, Inspection Engineer, owner of Sturdy Home Inspections, and host of The Knowledgeable Homeowner Podcast, to talk about the red flags most inspectors don’t catch—and why homebuyers, sellers, and contractors need to ask better questions. 🎙️🔍

From moisture meters to thermal imaging to missing permits, Joe walks us through how a real inspection goes beyond the checklist—and why it can be the difference between a smooth closing and a $50,000 problem. We also talk about educating homeowners, common misconceptions about inspections, and what the “Sturdy” standard really means.

Welcome to Episode 7 of Marcor Studios. Because in this market, surface-level inspections just won’t cut it.

You can build the best homes. Have the best crews. Get everything lined up. And still… be stuck for months.

Long Island is growing—but not fast enough. And if you’ve ever wondered why it takes forever to get a permit, approve a build, or just break ground… this is the episode you need to hear.

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Florio, Government Affairs Director of the Long Island Builders Institute, to talk about the invisible roadblocks that builders, developers, and homeowners face every day. 🎙️🏗️📑

We get into zoning politics, municipal delays, NIMBYism, and the state-level policies that sound great on paper but make development nearly impossible in practice. From housing shortages to outdated infrastructure, Mike brings years of behind-the-scenes insight into what’s slowing progress—and how we can start to fix it.

Whether you're a builder, investor, contractor, or just someone who wants to see Long Island thrive, this episode is about the policies, people, and patterns that shape the future of where we live.

Welcome to Episode 6 of Marcor Studios. Let’s pull back the curtain on the system we’re all building in.

People think restoration is just about fixing walls and floors. But the truth? It’s way deeper than that.

In this episode, I sit down with Inga DiNardo of Elite Restoration—a woman who’s been on the front lines of disaster recovery for years—to talk about the side of insurance and construction most people never see. 🎙️🏚️

We talk about navigating emotional losses, the red tape that delays recovery, and why restoration companies like Elite need to be part contractor, part advocate. Inga shares stories from the field, from denied claims to emergency calls at 2 a.m., and how her team shows up when others don’t.

This one is about real families, real disasters, and what it takes to put the pieces back together again.

Welcome to Episode 5 of Marcor Studios. It’s not always pretty—but this is where the real work happens.

You can build the best roof in the world. But one missing document can still take your company down.

In this episode, I sit down with Dean Carras of DocuTrax—one of the top compliance and COI (Certificate of Insurance) experts in the game—to talk about the blind spots that most contractors, business owners, and even insurance carriers miss entirely. 🎙️📁

From expired policies and forged paperwork to the compliance gaps that quietly build over time, Dean explains how one missing document can unravel an entire claim. We break down why your subcontractor’s COI might be worthless, how to actually verify coverage, and the scary truth about how many businesses think they’re protected… but aren’t.

We also talk about the tech that’s changing the way risk is tracked, and why documentation is no longer optional—it’s your lifeline.

Welcome to Episode 4 of Marcor Studios.

It’s not glamorous, but it’s the stuff that separates companies that survive from those that get burned.

Let’s get into the side of roofing and insurance most people don’t want to talk about—liability, documentation, and the real risks that can leave homeowners and contractors financially exposed.

In this episode, I sit down with Kevin Rogers, President and CEO of Edwards & Co.—a seasoned insurance professional with deep ties to the construction world—to unpack the issues that too often go unnoticed. 🎙️📑

We talk about what really happens when solar panels are installed on aging roofs, how missing documentation can derail a claim, and the hidden exclusions that come back to bite when it matters most.

From gaps in coverage to the importance of understanding local codes, Kevin breaks down the common mistakes that leave policyholders vulnerable—and what you can do to avoid them. Whether you’re a contractor, a homeowner, or a realtor trying to protect your clients, this episode is packed with insights that could save you thousands.
