General Liability

General Liability

Bought by 95% of business owners like you
General liability insurance covers a wide range of accidents and basic risks. With roofing general liability insurance, 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. General liability might be required for a roofer license in your state, and it’s common for clients to ask for proof of coverage. 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

Errors and omissions insurance (also known as professional liability) helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money. For example, if you are accused of reusing old flashing and a leak damages the property, your policy could help cover related expenses.

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 for roofing business activities, such as bringing a load of shingles to a job site.

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.

This coverage is available as an add-on to our general liability insurance.

How much does roofing insurance cost

How much does roofing insurance cost?

Roofer insurance costs vary based on the risks that your business faces, such as:

  • The types of projects you work on
  • Where your projects are located
  • The types of vehicles you use at work

Roofers typically pay more for basic coverage than other types of professions due to the risks involved.

Roofer insurance requirements

Roofer insurance requirements

Roofers are often required to have insurance due to the risk of injury and property damage when working on private or commercial roofs. You might need insurance to:

  • Get a roofing license in your state.
  • Start work on a project. Clients might ask you to have active insurance — usually general liability — before you can work at their property.
  • Drive for business purposes. Business-owned vehicles typically need commercial auto insurance and personal auto policies might not cover business driving.
  • Repair or replace property you own or rent. Protect your inventory, equipment and even the building that you lease or own.

Frequently asked questions about business insurance

Here are some of the most common questions we get about insurance for roofing companies. 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 roofers?

Our roofer business insurance packages are designed to protect you 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

If you accidentally break an eavestrough while repairing an older roof, the general liability coverage in your insurance package would help pay for a replacement.

Accidents that hurt someone

The homeowner trips over a pile of shingles in their driveway. Your general liability coverage would also come into play here by helping to pay for medical costs and legal fees.

Professional mistakes

A homeowner accuses you of installing the wrong kind of shingles. E&O coverage helps you defend yourself if you’re accused of making a mistake that causes someone to lose money.

Injuries and damage involving your business vehicles

You rear end someone in your work truck on the way to a job. 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

You leave your extension ladder at a site and it gets run over by the garbage truck. You can choose to add tools and equipment insurance to your general liability coverage to help pay for replacement and repair costs.

Damage to your own property

A frozen water pipe bursts in your office and causes significant flooding. 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. When you start a quote for insurance, we’ll ask you a few basic questions about your business, including: the kind of services you provide, the location of your office or where you plan to work, how many people you employ and how much you pay them and the number and type of vehicles you use for work.
