Painting in the Ontario area can be extremely rewarding, but it doesn’t come without its risks. Paint spills, broken windows, or property damage are all risks that you face on a daily basis. Unfortunately, without the right type of painting insurance coverage just the slightest error or mishap could result in many small contractors closing their doors.
However, you can avoid this if you choose to protect your business with our ProfessionalsCoverage Business Program Insurance. Out highly trained brokers can educate you about the coverages provided under a contractors insurance policy and then proceed to help you choose the right coverage to ensure that you, your employees, and your business are protected at all times, against all risks!
Painting insurance cost
Sure, every painting contractor out there is going to be charged different amounts of different types of coverage. At the end of the day, there are a variety of factors that can determine your overall costs. Some of these factors might include your Ontario credit report, number of claims you’ve filed, and the number of years that you been in business. Employees and the specific risks that you face can also make a difference.
For instance, if you are just a one-man operation with the need for a $1,000,000 liability coverage policy, you will probably pay less than an individual that has several employees with the need for a $1,000,000 policy.
Know the Basic Painting Insurance Coverages
- General Liability Insurance – It has hard for any painting contractor in the Ontario area to get by without general liability insurance. In fact, most employers will require you to have this policy before they even hire you or your business. The policy protected you in the event that you cause bodily harm to the customer or damage their property.
- Commercial Auto Insurance – Whether you are just transporting supplies or you are traveling to a jobsite, you are going to need commercial auto insurance on the vehicle that you are utilizing. Unfortunately, a real auto insurance policy just won’t cut the mustard. In the event that you get into a wreck or if a ladder falls off the van and injuries someone without commercial coverage, you are going to be facing serious consequences. Our company offer specialized commercial auto coverage from vans, trucks, and even trailers.
Other Coverage That You Might Need as a Painter
- BOP (Business Owner’s Policy) – Our BOP just basically allows you to combine a variety of different insurance policies. For instance, you can combine general liability with auto commercial insurance and errors and omissions insurance.
- Worker’s Compensation – If you have an employee that is injured on the job worker’s compensation will pay for lost wages and medical expenses.
Bonded jobs
Also worth noting is that sometimes project owners, big builders, governing bodies, municipalities, or your city may ask you to present a surety bond in order to bid on tendering jobs in addition to insurance. If this is the case, it would definitely be worth exploring applying for a bonding facility so your business can bid on jobs that are exclusive to bonded companies.
