Contractor Insurance

Industry-Specific Insurance Solutions for Contractors & Construction Professionals

Contractors face some of the highest insurance risks of any industry. Job sites, heavy equipment, employees, subcontractors, vehicles, and contractual requirements all create exposure that standard business insurance cannot fully address.

At Geebu Insurance Agency, we specialize in contractor insurance solutions designed for how construction businesses actually operate. We help contractors across New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut secure coverage that meets job requirements, protects assets, and supports long-term growth.

Who This Contractor Insurance Is For

We work with a wide range of construction and trade professionals, including:

• General Contractors
• Subcontractors
• Electricians
• Plumbers
• HVAC Contractors
• Roofers
• Carpenters
• Painters
• Masonry & Concrete Contractors
• Renovation & Remodeling Companies

Whether you’re an independent contractor or managing multiple crews, your insurance should match your scope of work.

Why Contractors Need Industry-Specific Insurance

Construction businesses face risks that go beyond typical commercial operations:

✔ Job-site injuries
✔ Property damage to client locations
✔ Equipment theft or damage
✔ Auto accidents involving work vehicles
✔ Contractual insurance requirements
✔ Claims from subcontractors or third parties

Industry-specific contractor insurance helps protect your business from costly claims, delays, and compliance issues.

Core Contractor Insurance Coverages

General Liability Insurance

Protects against third-party bodily injury, property damage, and completed operations claims.

Example:
A client is injured at your job site — general liability can help cover medical costs and legal defense.

Workers’ Compensation Insurance

Required in most states if you have employees. Covers medical expenses and lost wages for work-related injuries.

Example:
An employee falls from a ladder — workers’ compensation helps cover treatment and recovery costs.

Commercial Auto Insurance

Covers trucks, vans, and other vehicles used for business purposes.

Example:
A work vehicle is involved in an accident while traveling to a job site.

Tools & Equipment Insurance

Helps protect tools and equipment from theft, loss, or damage — whether on the job site or in transit.

Builder’s Risk Insurance

Protects structures and materials during construction or renovation projects.

Example:
A storm damages materials at an active construction site.

Commercial Umbrella Insurance

Provides additional liability limits beyond general liability, auto, and employer’s liability coverage.

Surety Bonds

Often required to meet licensing or contract requirements and provide financial assurance to clients.

Meeting Contract & Certificate Requirements

Many contractors are required to provide:

• Certificates of insurance (COIs)
• Additional insured endorsements
• Specific coverage limits
• Waivers of subrogation

We help contractors understand and meet these requirements efficiently — keeping projects moving without delays.

Contractor Insurance vs. Standard Business Insurance

Standard business policies often:

• Exclude construction-related risks
• Offer insufficient liability limits
• Fail to meet contract requirements

Contractor insurance is designed specifically to address:
✔ Job-site exposure
✔ Completed operations risk
✔ High-liability environments
✔ Regulatory and contract compliance
