General Liability

General Liability

Protection for the injuries, accidents and damage you cause
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

Contractors’ E&O

Coverage against business mistakes and claims of negligence
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

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

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

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

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

Drywall service and repair insurance requirements

Drywall contractors are almost always required to have business insurance due to the risk of injury and property damage. You might need insurance to:

  • Win a bid or start work on a project. Clients and local governments might ask you to have active insurance — usually general liability or workers’ compensation.
  • Hire employees or subcontractors. Most states require workers’ compensation.
  • Drive for business purposes. Business-owned vehicles typically need commercial auto insurance.
  • Repair or replace property you own or rent. Protect your inventory, equipment and even the building that you lease or own.
