Your roof is integral to the long-term weather protection of your home, and as such, you need a team of professionals to have it repaired or replaced. However, some contractors are uninsured, and hiring them means risking financial loss, legal issues, and property damage. As the trusted commercial and residential roofing contractor in the area, we explain why hiring an insured contractor is imperative.
Knowing what type of insurance coverage a roofing contractor has is vital when hiring one for your project. General liability insurance, for instance, covers property damage and bodily injury, while workers’ compensation insurance covers medical expenses and lost wages for injured employees. When you work with a contractor who has both, you can rest easy knowing that you won’t be held liable in case one of their team members gets injured or a part of your property gets damaged while they work on your roof.
An insured residential or commercial roofing contractor offers peace of mind and protection. The homeowner or business owner won’t be held financially responsible if something goes wrong, like an accident or property damage. Insured contractors also deliver quality workmanship, comply with local regulations, and have the resources to cover unexpected issues, ensuring the safety and quality of the roofing project they’re handling.
