One slip and it could be lights out! You run risks with property damage, liability, equipment. Not to mention your employees, sub-contractors, and other close by. Buying roofing insurance is part of every roofer’s business plan. The insurance isn’t cheap because of what you do. However, there are some better choices out there.

The cost… Well for a one person / one active owner company Minnesota contractor doing 25% roofing, 25% siding, 25% Windows & 25% Gutters the cost is around $1,700.00 per year. If you do more roofing than that, the cost can hit $2,650 per year in a hurry.

Something that is also rated for is sub-contractors. Be sure to do everything your roofing company recommends in regards to certificate and any possible additional endorsement requirements.
