Frequently Asked Questions
Got questions? I’ve got answers. If yours isn’t here, Get in touch.
What is contractor (artisan) liability insurance?
It’s protection for trades like plumbing, electrical, landscaping, painting, and handyman work. If your work causes an injury or damages someone else’s property, it helps cover the bill (and the lawyer).
Why do I need it?
- Simple: it’s the line between a bad day and a bankrupt one.
GCs, landlords, and cities often require a COI before you start. Even careful pros have callbacks and surprises. Liability keeps one bad day from wrecking your business.
What does Contractor Liability Insurance cover?
- Medical expenses for third-party injuries tied to your work
- Legal defense & settlements if you’re sued
- Damage to others’ property on the job or after completion (completed ops)
What can I expect to pay annually?
Prices vary by trade and risk. Tell me about your work and I’ll hoot back the best rate in minutes. We keep rates sharp for real job-site work. Your price depends on a few things, mainly your trade, location, annual revenue/payroll, coverage limits (e.g., $1M/$2M), and claims history. Subbing out higher-risk tasks or needing special endorsements can also move the needle. Get a quick quote and choose annual or monthly (when available).
*No hard credit pull. COI available after bind.
Can you list my GC/landlord as Additional Insured?
Absolutely. We issue AI endorsements (often blanket) and send an updated COI in minutes. Share the contract wording and job address.
Who is this coverage for?
This policy is built for hands on trades like handyman services, carpentry, painting, remodeling, landscaping, janitorial work, concrete, drywall, flooring, HVAC, and similar contractor work.
What limits should I choose?
Most contracts ask for $1M / $2M (occurrence/aggregate). If they want more, we can go $2M / $4M or add an Umbrella.
What does this insurance not cover?
General liability does not cover your own injuries, damage to your own work vehicle, or employee injuries. We can help you add or explore other coverage if needed.
