Find the Coverage That You Need
As a central Iowa contractor, you are likely experiencing an increase in building activity. The central Iowa economy is good; housing starts are increasing and commercial construction is picking-up.
In addition to bidding jobs, hiring and retaining employees, coordinating with vendors and other supply houses and overseeing the job, you also need to make sure everything is insured properly. Materials in your warehouse, in-transit or on the job site need to be protected as do you your employees, equipment and tools. It pays to know your insurance requirements and the agents at Knapp Tedesco Insurance will work with you to be certain you have the protection you need.
Insurance for Contractors
Contractors Insurance provides you with the financial protection you need in case of an unfortunate event or an accident. A standard contractor insurance policy will include these basic coverages:
- General Liability – to protect you from claims that may arise
- Business Property – equipment used in your construction business
- Commercial Auto – vehicles used in your business
- Worker's Comp – to protect your employees in the event of injury
- Builders Risk Installation Floater - protection for installation, tools, storage and transit
There are many optional coverages that can be included on your contractors insurance policy in order to customize it to your specific needs. Loss of Business Income, Equipment Breakdown, Sign Coverage, Electronic Data, Employee Dishonesty, Crime, Data Breach, Equipment, Contractors Errors & Omissions and Pollution are a few of those options. Your business is unique and your property and casualty coverages should be too. Choosing the right contractors insurance package takes know-how and Knapp Tedesco Insurance is here to help. Let us go to work for you to keep your costs down while providing the coverages that you need.
