Directory of Contractors Insurance Providers

Who are Contractors?

By the term contractors, we are referring to those involved in "Construction":

  • Industrial
  • Institutional
  • Residential

who do new construction or renovations and/or additions to existing structures, and of course landscaping.

Both general contractors, who bid on and then manage a job, and sub-contractors, often with fewer personnel and a particular skill or trade, are included in this group of contractors for insurance purposes.

Insurance for Contractors

By the nature of their work, contractors have a number of unique risks that they face. Contractors typically have transportation as part of their daily work - transporting tools, equipment, employees and supplies to and from, and between job sites. Equipment and supplies are often stored both off and on-site.

In order to even bid on some jobs, or certainly in order to win them, various bonds are often required.

A variety of types of liability insurance are required, in the event that any of a number of things don't go as well as they should and someone or something else incurs a loss.

The specific types of insurance or related assistance that contractors need include:

  • Bonds of various types including:
    • pre-qualification letters
    • bid bonds
    • contractors surety bonds
  • commercial general liability, and extensions to umbrella liability
  • rented contractors equipment
  • fleet coverage for the various vehicles
  • certificates of insurance, delivered expeditiously on request
