What Is Painters Insurance?
Painter’s insurance is a unique form of general contractors’ insurance for small or large painting companies. This form of insurance covers a wide range of claims, from bodily injury to libel, even property damage.
We all want cooperative services, like professional painters working on a home, to work without incident. However, accidents do happen in this line of work. And when those accidents happen, it is up to those at fault to provide compensation.
Without general liability insurance, paying for accidents be extremely difficult, and can cost the company time, additional assets, and reputation. With a personalized painter’s insurance package from Contractors Liability, your painting company can be secure enough and confident enough to finish any job is nothing less than a professional manner.
There’s nothing quite like the look of a freshly-painted house. It shows people that you care about the space you live in, you’re committed to its future, and you want people to feel as though they are being welcomed into your home.
It’s possible for people to do painting jobs on their own, but most of them look to professional painting services for the help that they need.

Painters Insurance Cost
Painters are exposed to risks like Exposure to toxic fumes, Dust inhalation, Back and neck injuries, and risk of falls from scaffolding and ladders. However, the risks themselves have not considered a deal breaker for getting affordable insurance.
Here are some of the things that insurance companies consider when putting together a quote for your insurance package.
-
The size of your business
The saying goes that you’ve got to spend money to make money, and that certainly extends to the size of your staff. With a greater number of employees, the odds of an accident increase, which can sometimes make the cost of insurance a little higher.
However, that should not scare larger companies away from getting insured.
-
Where your company is located
The location of a company could also play a big factor in determining how much your plan might cost. If a company is in a neighborhood with high crime or theft rates, they might see higher general contractor insurance rates.
-
Your company’s accident history
While having an accident or two on your record might not make a huge impact in your company’s insurance rate, it will still influence it on some level.
Talk to a licensed insurance agent today about ways you can keep your rates down if you have a high number of accidents in your record.
-
The age of your company
Established companies show many things to their customers, that other customers trust you, love your work, and you have a history of getting jobs done on time, to the satisfaction of others.
These things also matter to insurance companies. But seniority in your business is not everything, and insurance companies will work with painters regardless of their tenure to create comprehensive coverage packages.
Contractors Liability always welcomes questions and concerns regarding painter’s insurance. For more ideas on how we can help you save on your painting insurance, contact us today.

What Does Painters Insurance Cover?
However, it only ensures third parties. While this might seem like a service that a painter might be able to get away with not having, painting is not without its risks. Scaffolding, a difference in styles, and employee work effort have all been problems for painting companies in the past. Your company may unintentionally injure third parties, but the good news is that any risk to third parties can be covered by an insurance plan.
Here are some of the more common types of coverage under painter’s insurance, including some examples of how it might apply to paint.
-
Injuries to the Body:
Physical harm caused to any person unrelated to your company that your company is at fault for causing.
Example: An improperly secured tool falls from the scaffolding around your site and hits a person below, causing them physical harm.
-
Damages to the Property:
Any damage that is lasting and unwanted, especially aesthetic in the case of a painting company.
Example: An employee spills a can of paint on interior hardwood flooring that has not been covered with protective material.
-
Personal Injury:
Any injury that is not physical but still negatively affects the reputation or emotional state of a third party.
Example: A poor painting job leads a local business to be the source of ridicule in their community. This leads to loss of business as well as loss of reputation.
-
Advertising Injury:
Any false claim or direct attack made against a third party, as in libel or copyright infringement.
Example: Your company accidentally creates a logo that is close in aesthetic to the Sherwin-Williams logo, and they sue you for copyright infringement.
-
Medical Payments:
This covers the medical bills of a third party caused by a painting-related injury.Example: A client’s child gets a hold of paint thinner left unattended by your company and must be rushed to the hospital after opening and playing with it.
