Contractors Insurance

Contractors Insurance is a specialized collection of coverages designed around the unique needs of contractors working across a range of disciplines. This insurance protects you, your business and your customers against risks associated with the performance of construction, demolition, modification and remediation of a customer’s property.

Contractor Specialties

Contractors Insurance policies can be as different as the types of contractors they cover. Each discipline has its own unique risks and variables, so it’s critically important to work with an agency that understands contracting in all its forms; from recurring services like Landscaping and Grounds Maintenance, to Excavation, Low-Voltage Electrical work, General Contracting, and everything in between.

  • General Contractor: serving both multi-state and local contractors who build Commercial, Retail, Industrial, Single & Multi-Family Residential, Mixed-use and many more.
  • Electrical Contractor: low voltage communications, structured cabling, alarm and engineered AV systems or high-voltage inside wiring, fixtures, appliances, luminaires, and even solar power installations.
  • Excavation Contractor: general excavation work, foundation digging, grading of land and many other services offered by contractors who move earth. We cover risks associated with soil compaction, meeting proper grades for runoff, as well as first-party damage from the use of your heavy equipment.
  • Plumbing & Mechanical Contractor: air conditioning systems, water supply to sewer hookups, radiant heating systems, heat pumps, air-handling equipment, filtration and air purification systems and all other specialties addressed by plumbing and mechanical contractors.
  • Masonry Contractors: masonry and stone-setting are only two of the many services offered by masonry contractors. We help protect you from construction defect claims stemming from design, material and construction deficiencies by understanding your business and backing you with the best insurance options designed around your specific needs.
