Contractors Insurance
Contractors Insurance in Massachusetts
Whether you’re a plumber responding to emergency calls, an electrician working in occupied buildings, or a general contractor managing multiple crews across Massachusetts, the right insurance can help keep your business moving when the unexpected happens.
At Risman Insurance Agencies, we help contractors understand their options, identify the risks that matter most for their trade, and explore coverage that fits how they work — on job sites, on the road, and in the shop.
Coverage Options Built for Contractors
Every contracting business is different, but many face similar exposures. These may include property damage, job-site injuries, stolen tools, auto accidents, or insurance requirements written into contracts.
We can help you review contractors insurance options that may include the following.
General Liability Insurance
Often required by clients and contracts, general liability insurance can help address certain third-party claims involving accidental property damage or bodily injury connected to your operations.
Limits, exclusions, and details vary by policy.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Commercial auto coverage options are available for vans, service trucks, and other vehicles used to transport tools, materials, or crews between job sites.
Coverage depends on the vehicles insured, drivers, and how the vehicles are used.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
Workers’ compensation is required for most Massachusetts employers and can help support employees if a workplace injury occurs.
We can help you explore options that align with your payroll, class codes, and day-to-day operations.
Tools, Equipment & Materials
Coverage options may be available for handheld tools, power tools, and certain mobile equipment — whether stored at your shop, in a vehicle, or on a job site.
Availability and limits vary by carrier and policy.
Contractor’s Property
Contractor’s property coverage may help protect your office, shop space, business contents, and certain materials.
We can review property limits, deductibles, and what’s typically included or excluded.
Umbrella Liability
Umbrella liability provides additional liability limits that may help safeguard your business if a major covered claim exceeds the limits of an underlying policy.
Requirements and pricing can vary by trade and risk profile.
