Contractors Insurance
Contractors know that winning bids is essential to being a successful builder. But, just as important is protecting yourself from unnecessary risk.
Protection for every budget or job
Because every business is different, commercial insurance solutions for contractors can range from a basic policy to a thorough mix of coverages.
Also, the type of contracting business you own, size, number of employees, and type of work all have an impact on the types of protection you may need.
We understand you need to stay focused on work, and not the risks you face every day. That's why we work with multiple carriers to find you the best coverage at the most affordable price.
Insurance keeps working, even after the job is done
Even when the job is finished, there is plenty more work to be done. You may have connected the final fixtures, flipped the switch, and handed over the keys, but the potential liability from your work goes on.
Our insurance keeps protecting you from any accidents or faults that may allegedly result from work you’ve overseen or performed. In the trades, you need a solid contractor insurance policy that keeps working to protect you long after you have moved to the next job site.
The list of coverage areas that need to be addressed in your contractors insurance include:
- Property in transit
- Workers Compensation
- Trucks and other commercial vehicles
- Errors and omissions
If your contractors insurance misses any of this protection, your job and your company could be at serious risk.

You may think you want the cheapest insurance you can find, but cheap isn't everything.
While most insurance products are similar in price and function, insurance providers vary when it comes to structuring a policy that actually covers you.
There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all insurance policy when it comes to your business.

The more your assets grow, the higher your liability risks are. No matter how well you’ve covered your bases, sometimes things go wrong. A car accident. A guest who slips and falls on your property. A lawsuit. If you don’t have the right coverage, an unfortunate situation can compromise your financial security and put your personal assets at risk.
An excess policy responds when the underlying liability limits of your other policies, such as home and auto, aren’t enough to cover the unexpected costs of a lawsuit or accident.
It is important to note that most Canadian insurance policies carry on average $1,000,000 of liability coverage.
