Contractor Insurance in the Bay Area
Insurance for Bay Area Contractors and Trades
Bay Area construction means older buildings, steep lots, seismic retrofits and some of the most demanding contracts in the state.

- Workers' Compensation: A must-have for your crew. Covers medical expenses and lost wages for employees injured on the job, while protecting you from lawsuits.
- Builder's Risk (Course of Construction): Protects the structure and materials on-site from events like fire, theft, and vandalism during the construction process.
- Commercial Auto Insurance: Covers your fleet of work trucks, vans, and other vehicles against liability and physical damage.
- Inland Marine Insurance (Tools & Equipment): Your tools are your livelihood. This policy protects them whether they are on a jobsite, in storage, or in transit.
- Contractor's Professional Liability (E&O): Crucial for design-build firms and GCs, this covers financial losses arising from errors in design or faulty workmanship.
