FAQ

Common Questions About Painters Insurance

Does standard GL cover paint overspray?

Most GL policies cover overspray, but limits may apply. Spray painting operations need careful underwriting. Using overspray shields, checking weather conditions, and proper masking reduces claims and can lower premiums.

What about lead paint certification and insurance?

EPA RRP certification is required for pre-1978 homes. Lead liability coverage is essential as standard GL may exclude it. We offer specialized lead-safe coverage for certified firms following proper procedures.

How can painters reduce insurance costs?

Limiting spray work, avoiding oil-based paints when possible, proper ventilation procedures, drop cloth usage, and formal safety programs all help. Interior-only painters typically pay less than those doing exterior work.

Do I need special coverage for commercial painting?

Commercial work often requires higher limits and additional insured endorsements. Working in occupied buildings, using lifts, or industrial coatings may need specialized coverage. We match coverage to your actual work.
