Roofing Contractor Insurance

Roofing is one of the hardest trades to insure. Crews work at height in changing weather, a single torch-down or tear-off can damage the building below, and general contractors will not let you on the job without the right certificate in hand. Because many standard carriers decline roofers outright, you need an agency with access to the specialty markets that actually write this class.

Risks We Help Manage

Exposures that demand a strategy

Before recommending coverage, we map the specific exposures that threaten your operation. For roofing contractor insurance, those typically include:

Falls from height and other serious crew injuries driving up workers' comp
Water intrusion and interior damage to the building during tear-off and re-roof
Fire exposure from torch-down, kettles, and hot-work operations
Completed-operations claims when a roof leaks months after the job
Theft of ladders, compressors, and equipment from open job sites
Lost work when a general contractor's COI requirements are not met on time
Coverages to Consider

A program built around your operation

With access to more than 100 highly rated carriers and specialty programs, we assemble the right combination of coverages rather than a one-size-fits-all policy.

Commercial General Liability

Protects against third-party bodily injury and property damage claims arising from your premises and operations, including legal defense costs.

Workers' Compensation

Pays medical bills and lost wages for employees injured on the job and shields you from related employee lawsuits.

Completed Operations

Responds to property damage and injury claims that surface after a roofing job is finished, including leaks traced back to your workmanship.

Contractors' Tools & Equipment

Covers ladders, compressors, nail guns, and other equipment against theft and damage on the job site, in transit, and in storage.

Commercial Auto

Protects the trucks and trailers that haul crews, materials, and debris between the shop and the job site.

Commercial Umbrella / Excess Liability

Adds an extra layer of liability limits above your underlying policies to protect against catastrophic claims and large lawsuits.

Residential and commercial roofing contractors, including tear-off, re-roof, repair, and new-construction roofing operations.
