What Is Carpenter Insurance?
Carpenter Insurance is a custom-tailored insurance plan that provides liability coverage to Carpenters and carpentry businesses. This type of insurance will cover an accident involving a third party if it occurs on a site you are working on.
Although carpenters are highly skilled and highly aware of their surroundings, accidents on carpentry sites still happen. That is why it is so important for carpenters to get this form of insurance so that they are always covered in the case of an accident.
At Contractors Liability, we provide carpenters with the insurance you need to get the job done right, regardless of the risk.
However, we also believe that you should be well informed before coming to a decision about your insurance. Let’s take a quick look at what we know about the needs of carpenter contractors.

Carpenter Insurance Cost
Contractors Liability understands that cost is always a concern for companies, regardless of their size or yearly income. While many of the determining factors for insurance are out of the hands of both carpentry professionals and insurance companies, it’s important to understand how insurance rates are determined.
Here are some of the factors that might weigh in on determining the cost of your carpenter’s insurance rate.
-
Policy Features
Not all policies are created equal. Sometimes, insurance policies come with extra features that your company might not need.
In such situations, a licensed insurance agent will be able to help you decide the best course of action.
-
Your type of business
Carpentry isn’t the riskiest contracting business in the world, but there are still certain risks that come with the trade.
This does become part of the consideration of cost, but carpenters shouldn’t worry too much – it’s not usually the most important feature of insurance cost calculation.
-
The size of your business
The more workers you have, the higher the insurance rates you must pay. Each worker provides an additional risk when it comes to preparing for an accident.
Should you be worried about the size of your business making your cost higher? Don’t be. A licensed insurance agent will help you weigh the cost of insurance against the potential costs of employee-based accidents.
-
Company location
Believe it or not, being in a higher-end neighborhood makes as much of an impact on your insurance rates as living in a more dangerous neighborhood. We get it – it’s confusing.
But asking Contractors Liability about the ways location impacts your insurance rate is one of the best ways to save in the long-term.

What Happens If You Don’t Get Carpenter Insurance?
In a worst-case scenario, failure to cover your company with carpenter’s insurance can result in hefty fines from states in which carpenter’s insurance is mandatory.
However, in most cases, it can cost you a bid on a job as most clients looking for carpentry work are also looking for someone with liability insurance coverage.
Other losses might include reputation loss, significant financial loss, and loss of your right to work as a carpenter. Be sure you are covered in all these respects with the help of one of our licensed insurance agents.
