Contractors Insurance
Contractors Insurance for NJ and PA
Your contracting business is more than a job, a career, or a source of income. It’s your life.
You’re a successful contractor. You’ve made a substantial investment in tools, equipment and building materials. You often rely on others to help you complete a job. You’re used to unforeseen complications that can interrupt schedules. But how well do you know the risks you face? What if there’s an accident on the site? Destruction of on-site equipment? Could you recover from the unexpected? Is your business – and your family – protected against catastrophic loss, accidents, liability claims or loss of income?
We Understand Your Business
There are many unique issues and daily risks contractors face. We provide a policy called Contractors Advantage, designed specifically for trades such as landscapers and tree pruning, plumbers, painters, electricians, general sub contractors, pavers, and cabinet makers. You deserve high quality, affordable protection.
What Protection Do You Need?
Successful businesses are able to weather constant change. As your business develops, it’s important to make sure your coverages match the structure of your business. Depending on your exact business needs, you may want to include special optional coverages in your policy to address your specific concerns. We’ll help to assess and address all of your Contracting Businesses needs.
Property Coverage
Property Coverage
Business property insurance can help protect the property your business owns and leases, including things like medical equipment, inventory, furniture and fixtures. We also include coverage for things you may not have thought of, like protection for your accounts receivable records and or computers and media. There’s even an option that can help replace lost income when your operations are suspended and can no longer operate due to a covered loss. No two businesses are exactly alike. With our flexible coverage options, you can tailor coverage specifically for your business’ unique needs both today and as your business evolves. And, many of the commercial property coverages we offer as optional can be bundled into cost-effective packages giving you the best value for your insurance dollar.
