General Liability
Bought by 95% of business owners like you
General liability insurance covers a wide range of drywall repair accidents and basic risks. You’ll have financial protection if someone other than an employee gets hurt or you are held responsible for damaging property that doesn’t belong to you. It’s often required by project owners and licensing agencies. General liability includes contractors’ E&O, or professional liability coverage, which can help cover costs in a business disagreement.
general liability can help you pay for:
Medical payments
Property damage
Legal fees and judgments
Contractors’ E&O
Bought by 80% of business owners like you
Errors and omissions insurance (also known as professional liability) helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake or missing a deadline that causes someone to lose money. For example, if you are accused of damaging a sprinkler system while repairing a ceiling, it could help cover related expenses to defend yourself.
professional liability can help you pay for:
Professional negligence (actual or alleged)
Legal defense costs
Legal judgments
Commercial Auto
For business owners who own or drive vehicles
Most states require commercial auto insurance for business-owned vehicles to help pay for medical expenses and property damage. Personal auto insurance usually won’t provide coverage if your company vehicle breaks down and you need a tow truck to transport it to the repair shop.
commercial auto can help you pay for:
Medical expenses
Collision repairs
Rental reimbursement
Workers' Compensation
For business owners who hire employees
Workers’ compensation insurance can help you and your employees after a workplace accident. Most states require it as soon as you hire your first employee, and you might need coverage before you can get your drywall service and repair license. It can help pay for medical bills and lost wages after an accident.
workers compensation can help you pay for:
Medical expenses
Lost wages
Employer liability
Tools & Equipment
Protection for your gear and equipment
Tools and equipment coverage makes sure your gear is protected wherever you keep it — in your vehicle, in a trailer or at a job site. If you don’t own or lease property and regularly take expensive gear to a job site, tools & equipment insurance offers protection against damage or theft. This coverage is available as an add-on to our general liability insurance.
inland marine can help you pay for:
Equipment owned by you
Employee tools and clothing
Borrowed equipment
Commercial Property
For business owners who own or rent physical spaces
Commercial property insurance can help protect your business equipment, inventory and your building if you own it. If you own real estate where you store equipment, commercial property insurance provides coverage for your equipment while it’s on the premises, as well as for the building itself.
commercial property can help you pay for:
Damaged equipment and inventory
Lost income
Operating expenses

Frequently asked questions about business insurance
Here are some of the most common questions we get about drywall contractor insurance. If you don’t find the answers you need here, our licensed, U.S.-based insurance advisors are standing by to help via online chat or phone.
How does business insurance protect drywall service and repair companies?
Our drywall repair insurance packages are designed to protect your business from a variety of risks and help you save money to grow your business. You’ll be protected from financial losses related to:
Damage to someone’s property
Employees accidentally break a window while moving large panels into a job site. The general liability coverage in your insurance package would help pay for repairs.Accidents that hurt someone
A homeowner slips on a dusty floor at a job you’re doing and needs medical care. Your general liability insurance would also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.Professional mistakes
A building owner accuses you of failing to property patch a hole in a wall, which causes structural damage after a pipe bursts. E&O coverage helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.Workplace injuries
An employee develops a respiratory illness after working on a site with asbestos. Workers’ compensation coverage can help cover medical bills and lost wages — not to mention it’s usually required by law if you have employees.Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles
A windshield on a company truck shatters after it’s hit by flying debris during heavy winds. Commercial auto coverage will help pay for the repairs. This coverage is also usually required by law for business-owned vehicles.Theft or damage to your tools
An employee accidentally leaves a company vehicle unlocked and thieves steal several drywall sanders. You can choose to add tools and equipment insurance to your general liability coverage to help pay for replacement costs.Damage to your own property
A fire breaks out in your office space and causes damage to several rooms. Commercial property insurance can help with replacement or repair costs if your owned or leased property is damaged due to a covered event, such as a burst water pipe, fire, tornado or vandalism.What do I need to get an insurance quote online?
We keep it simple and straightforward so you can find the coverage that’s right for you within a few minutes.
