Common Questions About Flooring Contractors Insurance
What coverage do I need for moisture-related flooring claims?
Moisture issues are common in flooring claims. Ensure your GL policy includes water damage coverage and consider adding mold liability. Document moisture testing before installation and use written contracts specifying moisture requirements to help defend against claims.
Am I liable for defective flooring materials I install?
Yes, you can be held liable even if the manufacturer is at fault. Products liability coverage protects you from defective material claims. Always use reputable suppliers, keep material documentation, and consider requiring customers to approve specific products in writing.
Do I need special coverage for dustless sanding equipment?
Expensive dustless sanders and other specialized equipment need inland marine or contractors equipment coverage. Your general liability won't cover equipment breakdown or theft. Consider equipment breakdown coverage for mechanical failures.
How can flooring contractors optimize insurance coverage?
Use moisture meters on every job, maintain NWFA certifications, implement dust control procedures, use detailed contracts with warranty limitations, and avoid high-risk installations like gymnasium floors. Photo documentation of subfloor conditions also helps.
