Verticals
Each vertical has its own loss profile, carrier appetite, and contract language. We staff the practice accordingly, for a wide range of contractor types across all 47 states, including:
01
GCs hold the master policy and carry the risk for work their subcontractors perform, not just their own crews. Coverage has to account for subs, completed work, and owner contract terms.
02
Solar and wind projects bring high equipment values and electrical work that many carriers are still cautious about. As a newer class, it needs coverage that keeps pace.
03
HVAC, plumbing, and electrical trades face fire from hot work and water damage from failed connections. Each one needs coverage matched to how the trade actually operates.
04
Roofing is one of the toughest classes to insure. Height, torch-down heat, and weather drive up claims, and many carriers cap limits low or decline the work.
05
Concrete, formwork, and structural steel carry heavy-equipment risk during the job and long-tail liability after. A frame that fails years later can still trace back to the contractor.
06
Water, fire, and mold work runs into pollution and mold claims that standard policies routinely exclude. This vertical needs environmental coverage written for the specific hazards involved.
07
Glazing, drywall, painting, flooring, and other niche trades each carry their own loss profile and carrier appetite. Coverage gets matched to the trade instead of forced into a generic policy.
No problem! We provide insurance solutions for contractors across the entire construction industry. Our team will craft coverage that addresses your precise industry requirements.
