Legal Question in Insurance Law in Missouri

My property was burglarized by a contractor who was working on the property (it's a fairly sizable claim). After close to a 3-month investigation, my insurance came up with a reason to deny coverage. Although, it's not official yet, they are trying to deny coverage by stating that the policy wouldn't cover the theft because the property was vacant. The property was vacant when I purchased it and at the time the policy was initiated and it had to undergo some work before it could be rented out. The renovation project did become larger because new things were identified that required repairs/correction. Am I SOL here or can I take legal action? If yes, what type of an attorney would I need?
