Questions

Find answers to what matters most about your coverage.

What insurance do contractors need in Kansas City?

Most contractors need general liability, workers' compensation, commercial auto, and inland marine insurance. Depending on the type of work, additional coverage like builders' risk or umbrella liability may also be recommended.

How much does contractor insurance cost?

The cost depends on your trade, payroll, revenue, and claims history. Many small to mid-sized contractors fall within a manageable annual premium range, but coverage should always be tailored to your specific operations.

Can I get same-day proof of coverage?

Yes. In most cases, we can provide certificates of insurance quickly so you can start or continue work without delays.

Does general liability cover everything?

No. General liability covers third-party bodily injury, property damage, and completed operations—but it does not cover everything. For example, it does not cover employee injuries, auto accidents, or most pollution-related claims.

Do contractors need pollution liability insurance?

In some cases, yes. Standard general liability policies typically exclude pollution-related claims. Contractors working with chemicals, fuel, dust, mold, or environmental exposures may need pollution liability coverage to properly protect their business. Even trades that don't seem "high risk" can be exposed; for example, window contractors can create water intrusion issues that lead to mold or long-term damage.

What is builders' risk insurance?

Builders' risk insurance covers structures and materials during construction or renovation projects. It protects against losses like fire, theft, vandalism, and certain weather events while a project is in progress.

What is an umbrella policy for contractors?

Umbrella insurance provides additional liability protection above your primary policies like general liability and commercial auto. It helps protect against larger claims that exceed standard policy limits.
