Coverage Options

Common contractor coverage options

Contractor coverage often involves more than one policy type. Depending on the operation, the right structure may involve liability protection, jobsite-related coverage, workers’ compensation, or protection for tools and equipment.

General Liability

Core protection commonly reviewed for third-party bodily injury and property damage exposure.

Workers’ Compensation

Often important where employees or labor exposure are part of the business operation.

Builder’s Risk

May be relevant for certain construction projects where property under construction needs protection.

Contractors’ Equipment

Useful where tools, machinery, or mobile equipment are essential to completing the work.

Commercial Auto

Can be important where business vehicles are used to transport crews, tools, or materials.

Installation Exposure

May need to be reviewed where installed materials or completed work create additional risk.

Umbrella / Excess Liability

Additional liability limits may be important depending on project size, contracts, and risk profile.

Property-Related Exposure

Some operations may need to review business property or office-related coverage as part of the package.

Why This Matters

Why contractor coverage varies

A general contractor managing multiple subcontractors does not carry the same exposure as a handyman performing small residential work or a roofer operating on active jobsites. Trade type, project type, and equipment all matter.

Trade matters

Different trades create different liability, equipment, and jobsite risk profiles.

Project type matters

Residential work, commercial work, remodeling, and new construction do not all create the same exposure.

Business structure matters

Employees, subcontractors, vehicles, and equipment can all affect what coverage should be reviewed.

Helpful to Have Ready

Information that can help move the process along

Not every contractor request starts with a full submission package, but having some core business and job-related details ready can make next steps much easier.

  • Business name and contact information
  • Trade description and type of work performed
  • Whether work is residential, commercial, or both
  • Employee or subcontractor details if applicable
