Our role in your business
What we focus on (trades and coverage)
We stay trade-specific because underwriting and compliance are different for each contractor type.
Initial trade focus
- Roofing contractors
- General contractors
- Plumbing contractor
Common policies we place for contractors
- General Liability (GL)
- Workers’ Compensation (WC), including ghost where applicable with careful disclosures
- Commercial Auto
- Bonds
- Tools and Equipment (inland marine)
- Umbrella / excess
- Builder’s risk
- Professional liability (E&O)
How we handle compliance (COIs and endorsements)
In brief: Many “insurance issues” are compliance issues. We help you request the right items the right way so you can keep bids and jobs moving.
Common requests we support:
- Certificate of Insurance (COI)
- Additional Insured endorsement
- Primary and Noncontributory
- Waiver of Subrogation
Fast lane note: If a job is deadline-driven, tell us early in the quote flow. Speed depends on complete information and carrier rules.

Our standards: advice, documentation, and content
In brief: Insurance is regulated and high trust. We keep recommendations clear, documentable, and consistent with visible site content and disclosures.
How we review recommendations
- We start with how you actually operate: job types, subs use, payroll, revenue, vehicles, and claims history.
- We confirm contract requirements before requesting endorsements.
- We avoid promises we cannot control (carrier underwriting and approval are carrier-driven).
- We use plain language and flag when something is commonly required by contracts vs guaranteed by law.
How we review educational content on this site
- We write for busy contractors: short sentences, direct answers, scannable checklists.
- We separate proof vs coverage changes (COI vs endorsement).
- We include practical “what to verify” steps to reduce back-and-forth.
We update pages when carrier practices, forms, or common requirements change.

FAQs

Are you a direct carrier or a broker?
We are an independent broker. We shop coverage with multiple carriers and help contractors match coverage to trade and compliance requirements.

No. Underwriting and pricing are carrier-driven. We focus on fit, clarity, and getting you compliant without surprises.
Do you serve my area?
We currently serve contractors in California and Texas, including major metros and surrounding areas. See Locations for details.
Where can I see licensing and disclosures?
