FAQs
Common Questions from Painting Contractors Businesses
Does GL cover paint overspray damage to a neighbor's property?
Yes. If your painting operations result in overspray damage to adjacent vehicles, structures, or landscaping, general liability covers the repair or replacement costs.
What coverage do apartment complexes require from painting contractors?
Most commercial painting contracts require $1M per occurrence with the property owner named as additional insured. We can add additional insured status to your policy quickly.
How much general liability coverage do I need?
Common options range from $500,000 to $2 million per occurrence, with higher aggregate limits available. Requirements vary by industry and client contracts. A licensed agent can discuss what's appropriate for your business size and risk.
Does general liability cover my employees?
No — employee injuries are covered by workers compensation, not general liability. GL focuses on third-party claims from customers, vendors, and the public.
