What Is Drywall Insurance?
Every contractor has an accident at some point during their professional career, often caused by the contractor themselves. Insurance companies understand this and work this into their comprehensive drywall insurance plans.
Drywall insurance is a specialized liability insurance that covers the risks artisan drywall contractors face every day when they’re doing their job. Generally, it covers any accidents to a third party that is a direct result of the drywall installer’s work.

In comparison to many other contracting companies, drywall contracting is relatively low-risk. However, if there were no inherent risks to the job, there would be no need for a general liability policy. There are ways that insurance companies figure out how much a quote will cost, which apply for all types of contracting businesses.
Some of the more common deciding factors in policy cost for drywall companies include the following:
-
Number of Employees
Drywall installation isn’t a walk in the park, and it can sometimes require many employees to get a job done correctly and on time. However, the more employees a company has, the higher the risk the will be of a company being held liable for an accident.
-
Your type of business
Although drywalling is just as labor intensive as many jobs, it is not necessarily as risky as some other contracting jobs.
Whatever your drywall company does, whether it’s home improvement or commercial renovation, it is sure to play a role in how much you pay for drywall insurance.
-
Company location
Where your company is located also plays a role in how much you pay for insurance. For example, if you do most of your business in surrounding towns rather than the town in which you are located, your rates could go up.
This is because the extra mileage to get to and from work increases accident risk.
-
Accident history
Accident history shouldn’t be a huge worry for companies. After all, insurance providers make a living off protecting people against injury.
However, if your company has a history of many accidents, it could cause your rates to be a little higher.
These are only some of the things Contractors Liability considers prior to providing your company with a quote for your comprehensive coverage plan. If you have any questions, you should contact us directly so that a dedicated insurance agent can help you with the specifics.

We’ve seen it all in our field of work, and we know that despite the familiarity of your job, accidents happen. Here are some of the injuries and accidents covered under the scope of drywall insurance, complete with examples of how related accidents might present themselves.
-
