1Opinion of the Court

SABERS, Justice (on reassignment).

[¶ 1] Summary judgment was granted to Alverson on the basis that the insurance policy issued by Insurer provided coverage for certain property damage caused by Al-verson in his masonry business. Insurer appeals. We reverse and hold that the exclusion for property damage when it is caused by “your work” is unambiguous. By notice of review, Alverson argues that his summary judgment motion could have been granted by applying the doctrine of reasonable expectations. We.disagree and affirm the denial of summary judgment on that issue.
