Roofing Contractor Insurance Overview
When it comes to insurance, generic policies fill the market, and what they cover can vary widely. One Auto Insurance policy may be staggeringly different from another policy that lives under the same “Auto Insurance” title. When we come across a need for a specialized insurance policy, we can often count on a better value in customized policy meant to serve a specific occupational need.
Roofing Insurance is a type of Liability Insurance provided by Cordova Insurance Agency and it caterers to professionals within the roofing business. Roofing Insurance can help protect a roofer from financial losses they may see due to an accident or error.
Liability Insurance is something that most every businesses carries, either by lawful necessity or by optional precaution. Whatever the reason, Liability Insurance is a smart choice for most business owners. Roofing professionals have risks all of their own; risks that few other business owners face. Roofing Insurance can help protect a roofer if they, or an employee of theirs, were to damage a client’s roof, ruin hardware necessary to the job, or other situations they may be liable for. Luckily, a comprehensive Roofing Insurance policy is available to Wisconsin roofing contractors from Cordova Insurance Agency.
It is crucial that as insurance agents, we urge roofers, both seasoned and beginners, to design and purchase a Roofers Insurance program. Our client’s security and protection are always a top priority, and informing them about specialized insurance plans is part of our duty.
Why is Roofing Insurance Important?
Roofing Insurance is a specialized subcategory of Contractors Insurance, which helps cover monetary costs that may be acquired by damages done to a client’s property or an individual. Professional roofers go onto a job site knowing the dangers presented, and go above and beyond to protect themselves, those around them, and the property itself. However, mistakes happen, and sometimes things are out of everyone’s control. Because of those accidental incidents, Roofing Insurance exists.
Suppose an accident was to occur, and the roofer did not hold a Roofing Insurance policy. In that case, they might be held liable for any property, physical, or mechanical damages that possibly take place. It is safe to assume these financial burdens may be the end of a roofing business. For these reasons, many clients often refuse business with roofing companies who do not hold a Roofing Insurance policy.

Related Policies
The types of damages that can occur on a Roofer’s job site is relatively extensive, and many of them may fall under the protection of your Roofers Insurance policy. However, it should be noted that most Roofing Insurance policies only protect third party damages and medical bills. To have the bodily injuries of an employee covered, a roofer would most likely need a Worker’s Compensation policy. What is typically covered by related policies?
- Personal Injury: If the client is unhappy with the finished product due to something linked to the roofer’s negligence, the client could sue. The client may claim that poor craftsmanship and repairs have cost them business, and they may want the roofer to compensate them.
- Advertising Injury: If one roofing company were to advertise their superior work, but then points out bad work from their competition, and mention them by name, this could lead to the competition losing business. The competing roofing company may file a lawsuit against the advertisement, citing their lack of customers.
