Artisan and Service Contractor Insurance FAQs

What is an artisan and service contractor policy?

An artisan and service contractor policy is specialized business insurance designed for skilled tradespeople and service professionals. It combines general liability, property, and other essential coverages that protect contractors who provide services like plumbing, electrical work, HVAC installation, painting, carpentry, and other skilled trades.

Who needs artisan contractor insurance?

This insurance is essential for: plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors, carpenters, painters, handymen, locksmiths, appliance repair technicians, flooring installers, drywall contractors, roofers, landscapers, and any service professional who works on customer property or provides skilled trade services.

What does artisan contractor insurance typically cost?

Costs vary based on your trade, annual revenue, number of employees, and coverage limits. Most small contractors pay between $75-$300/month for basic coverage. Electricians and plumbers may pay more due to higher risk. We can provide exact quotes from multiple carriers to find your best rate.

Is this different from a standard BOP (Business Owners Policy)?

Yes. While a BOP works well for many businesses, artisan contractor policies are specifically designed for the unique risks of service contractors. They include specialized coverage like installation floaters, tools coverage, and completed operations that standard BOPs may not adequately cover.

Can I get coverage if I work alone with no employees?

Absolutely! We offer policies for sole proprietors and single-person operations. You can get general liability, tools coverage, and commercial auto without workers compensation if you have no employees.

What about subcontractors - am I covered for their work?

Your policy can include coverage for subcontractors, but they should carry their own insurance. We can help you understand additional insured requirements and ensure your subs have proper coverage to protect your business.

How quickly can I get a certificate of insurance?

Most certificates can be issued same-day or within 24 hours. Once your policy is active, you can request certificates anytime for specific jobs or clients. Call (201) 812-2184 for immediate certificate needs.

Does this cover my tools if they are stolen from my truck?

Yes, with proper tools and equipment coverage. This protects your tools whether they are in your vehicle, at a job site, or in storage. Coverage typically includes theft, damage, and mysterious disappearance.
