Protect Your Business with Contractors Insurance and Bonds

Insurance for A Handyman Business

 

 Handymen Insurance

1. General Liability I handyman insurance

  • Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage caused by your work.
  • Examples:
    • You accidentally break a client’s window while repairing a door.
    • A client trips over your tools and gets injured.
  • Also covers legal fees if a client sues you for damages.

2. Workers' Compensation Insurance (If you have employees)

  • Pays for medical expenses and lost wages if an employee gets injured on the job.
  • Covers injuries from falls, power tool accidents, or lifting heavy objects.
  • Required in most states if you hire workers.

3. Commercial Auto Insurance

  • Covers vehicles used for business purposes, such as a work truck or van.
  • Includes:
    • Liability for accidents.
    • Coverage for damage, theft, or vandalism.
    • May cover tools and materials stored in the vehicle.

4. Tools & Equipment Insurance (Inland Marine Insurance)

  • Protects tools and equipment from theft, damage, or loss.
  • Covers hand tools, power tools, ladders, saws, and other essential gear.
  • Can include replacement costs if tools are stolen from a job site or vehicle.

5. Business Owners Policy (BOP)

  • A bundled policy that includes:
    • General liability (injury/property damage protection).
    • Commercial property (if you have an office, storage space, or workshop).
    • Business interruption insurance (covers lost income if your business is temporarily shut down due to a covered event).
  • Ideal for small handyman businesses that own property or equipment.

6. Professional Liability Insurance (Errors & Omissions – E&O)

  • Covers mistakes or unsatisfactory work that causes financial losses for a client.
  • Examples:
    • A repair you made leads to water damage or structural issues.
    • A client claims you didn’t complete a project as agreed.

7. Surety Bonds

  • Some states or clients require handyman bonds to obtain permits or contracts.
  • Guarantees that you will complete the job as agreed.
  • Protects customers from financial loss if you fail to meet contractual obligations.

Why Handymen Need Insurance

  • Accidents Happen: Even small repair jobs can lead to property damage or injuries.
  • State & Client Requirements: Some states require licensing and insurance, and many clients won’t hire an uninsured handyman.
  • Legal & Financial Protection: Covers medical bills, property damage, lawsuits, and tool replacement.
  • Builds Customer Trust: Having insurance can make you more competitive and professional.
