Business insurance is important to construction and contracting companies, where injuries, equipment damage, and property damage are all commonplace. To cover yourself for employee injuries, you need workers’ comp coverage, and for other jobsite injuries, general liability coverage. Equipment damage repair or replacement costs require a property and liability policy.

How to save OR How much does it cost?
The different trades that do construction work are exposed to different types and degrees of risk. This variety of exposure is one of the many factors used to calculate a business’s construction insurance cost. We can give you access to options which you probably have not been offered by other insurance agencies.
For example, an excavator might risk damaging underground water or power lines, while a roofer might risk falling from a roof or ladder. Those are different kinds of risk, so you could expect their insurance rates to differ.
Other influences on your rate include your coverage needs, employees, work vehicles and claims history. The only way to know your exact rate is to get a customized quote.
