FAQ

Common Questions About Roofers Insurance

Why is roofing insurance so expensive?

Roofing has one of the highest injury rates in construction. Workers comp can be 20-40% of payroll, and GL rates reflect the severe fall exposure. However, we work with specialized carriers who offer competitive rates for safety-conscious roofers.

Can I get insurance if I do torch-down roofing?

Yes, but hot work increases premiums significantly. Some carriers exclude it entirely. Having hot work permits, fire extinguishers on site, and fire watch procedures helps secure coverage. We know which carriers accept this work.

What safety programs can reduce my roofing insurance costs?

Fall protection programs, safety harness requirements, weekly toolbox talks, and drug testing can reduce premiums 10-25%. Some carriers offer significant discounts for certified safety programs and OSHA training.

Do I need special coverage for solar panel installation?

Solar work requires additional coverage and often professional liability for system design. Electrical work may need separate classification. We can arrange comprehensive coverage for roofers expanding into solar.
