FAQs

Common Questions from Roofing Contractors Businesses

Does general liability cover falling debris or tools that damage a vehicle?

Yes. If a dropped tool or fallen debris damages a vehicle, structure, or injures a bystander, your general liability policy covers the resulting claims.

Will general liability cover a roof installation that leaks?

Defective workmanship itself is typically excluded, but water damage to the interior caused by a faulty installation may be covered. We help you understand exactly what your policy covers.

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.
