Why Does a Roofer Need Insurance?

Roofing work puts people, property, and equipment in play every day. One slip on a ladder, a sudden wind gust, or a small install mistake can turn into a big bill. Insurance helps you keep jobs moving and meet GC and client requirements.

What Does Roofer Insurance Cover?

Roofer insurance can cover third-party injuries, property damage, jobsite accidents, damage to your tools and vehicles, and certain claims tied to completed work. Coverage depends on your operations and contracts.

A homeowner trips near your work area

A client walks under caution tape, trips on a tarp edge, and breaks a wrist. General liability can help pay medical costs and legal defence if you are blamed.

What insurance do most roofers need in California?

Most roofing businesses carry general liability and workers’ compensation, and many also need commercial auto for company vehicles. If you have expensive tools, specialty equipment, or a shop or yard, you may also want inland marine or property coverage. The right mix depends on your crew size, the type of roofs you work on, and whether you do repairs, full replacements, or new construction.

Does general liability cover leaks after the job is done?

I’m a one-person roofing business. Do I still need workers’ comp?

What if I use subcontractors?

Will insurance cover stolen tools from my truck or job site?

How are roofer insurance premiums calculated?
