Masonry contractor’s property insurance

Damage to your property, such as from a natural disaster or extreme weather conditions, is covered by property insurance.

Masonry contractor’s inland marine insurance

Inland marine insurance is in place to protect your masonry contractor business from damage or loss to tools or equipment while driving from one place to another. Since you’ll be driving with equipment and tools, which may include such things as cranes and scaffolding, an accident can occur during transit that may cause damage to your business property. If this were to happen, inland marine offers ample coverage.

Masonry contractor’s premises liability insurance

As part of a general liability insurance policy, your masonry contractor business can also be protected from events occurring on your premises. For example, if a client comes in for a meeting to your business office, and trips over equipment laying near the entryway, the resulting medical or legal costs may be covered by premises liability.

Masonry contractor’s completed operations insurance

Once the work is completed, the client might not be happy with the masonry services you provided. If the work isn’t what they hoped or there was some type of error or damage done, then the client can turn around and sue your company for damages.  As part of a general liability policy, completed operations would help cover the costs of damages should this occur.

Masonry contractor’s surety and fidelity contractor bonds

Fidelity and surety bonds for contractors are similar to business insurance, in that they are a contract that promises to complete something for a set amount of money. With a fidelity bond, the client has insurance against theft or embezzlement by an employee, or other events that may cause a loss. A surety bond is a contract between the surety and the masonry contractor business that clearly outlines the work which is to be completed. If the client fails to pay for services rendered or the masonry contractor does not perform work that was promised, the surety is then responsible for damages or loss caused.

Masonry contractor’s crime insurance

Equipment, materials, and supplies left at job sites may be subject to not only vandalism, but theft. Crime insurance is there to help cover these risks.

Masonry contractor’s workers’ compensation

As the owner of a masonry contractors business, you no doubt employ at least one other person. All of your employees should be covered by workers compensation insurance. This will ensure any work-related injuries and the resulting medical costs are covered by insurance. You don’t need to be responsible for these costs, neither do your employees. For example, if an employee is unloading concrete slabs from a truck bed and gets a back injury, the medical costs and missed income is protected by worker’s comp.

By getting these masonry contractors insurance policies, you are giving your business the best chance at protecting the many different risks you and your business are subject to.
