What Are Uninsured Subcontractor Endorsements?

Roofers that hire subcontractors (which are many) might be held liable for claims that are filed against a subcontractor. If a subcontractor doesn’t have their own insurance or doesn’t have enough insurance, the hiring roofer may also be sued.

Adding an uninsured subcontractor endorsement onto a policy may protect against this singular risk. An agent who’s familiar with the nuances of roofers policies will be able to assist with setting up this endorsement.

What Are Bonds for Roofers?

Bonds may be used to provide financial compensation if a roofer doesn’t complete their work as promised, especially if the work is delayed or left uncompleted.

Some commercial customers will only hire roofers that are bonded, and a few municipalities require roofers to carry minimum bonds. When bonds are needed, they can usually be acquired from an insurance company and with the aid of an agent.

How Much Are Roofers Policies?

Premiums for roofers policies are based in part on a roofer’s location, area served, scope of work and bond needs. Because so many factors affect premiums, the costs of policies vary.

An independent agent, who’s not obligated to promote any one insurance company, can help roofers get quotes that are customized to their needs. Comparing customized quotes is the simplest and fastest way to find out how much policies will cost in a particular situation.
