Key Policies for Projects, Gear, and Liability

Covers third-party injury, property damage, and jobsite accidents-required for most bids and contracts.

Builders Risk (optional)

Protects materials, supplies, and partially completed work from theft, vandalism, or weather events during construction.

Tools & Equipment Coverage (Inland Marine)

Protects tools, trailers, and mobile equipment-coverage that travels with you, not just at the shop.

Commercial Auto

Insures trucks, vans, and trailers used for business.

Workers Compensation

Required if you have employees-covers work injuries and medical costs.

Umbrella Liability

Adds extra limits above general liability and auto when large projects require higher protection.

COIs, Additional Insured, Waivers-Contract Compliance Made Easy

Certificates of Insurance (COIs)

Fast, accurate documentation for contracts, jobsites, and vendors-issued locally, not a call center.
