Who needs contractor’s insurance?

It takes years of dedication to perfect your craft. It only takes a few minutes to protect your employees, equipment, and reputation against losses that could be hard to recover from.

These are just some examples of contracting businesses that should be protected:

Handypersons

Home renovation contractors

Painters

Landscapers

Electricians

HVAC contractors

Carpenters

Cleaning services

Why do contractors need insurance?

Protect people and property

Contractors and construction businesses get trusted with projects that involve a lot of moving parts. Accidents happen, but insurance can help your business recover from the costs of accidental property damage or injuries.

Protect tools, equipment, and supplies

Contractors and construction businesses rely on tools, equipment, and supplies to get a job done. Insurance can help you replace these items if they get damaged or stolen. Protect your bottom line.

Attract better talent

Good help is hard to find. By insuring their business, contractors and construction businesses can attract and retain talented employees. Insurance gives you credibility and gives your employees peace of mind.

Enhance your reputation

Be ready when customers ask if you have proof of insurance. Insurance can help contractors or construction businesses gain trust, enhance their reputation, and grow.

Types of insurance coverage for contracting and construction businesses:

Business liability

Commercial general liability coverage can help contractors and construction businesses build trust, attract talented employees, and recover from legal costs from someone getting injured.

Property insurance

Protect your workspace and the stuff inside it, too. Property coverage can help contractors and construction businesses protect and replace items that could get damaged or stolen – like furniture, and computers.

Equipment breakdown insurance

Insurance can help a contractor or construction business recover from the costs of replacing tools, building materials, or equipment if they ever get unexpectedly damaged or stolen – so you can get back to business sooner.

Commercial auto

Commercial car insurance can help contractors and their employees protect a company car that hauls equipment, tools, building materials, and electronics.

Cyber event expense insurance

Managing operations online can help contractors and construction businesses save time. But, keeping the lights on online can open the door to security threats. Protect your business from the costs of digital threats with cyber insurance.
