Why Is Contractors Insurance Important in Pennsylvania?

Construction work is inherently physical and often involves property, equipment, and people. In Pennsylvania, contractors are also expected to meet certain licensing and insurance requirements depending on their trade and region. Having the right insurance can help you comply with state laws, meet the expectations of clients, and protect your finances if something goes wrong.

Without appropriate insurance, a simple accident on the job site could result in major out-of-pocket costs. Whether it’s a property damage claim, an injury to a subcontractor, or an allegation of negligence, the right insurance can offer peace of mind and financial stability.

  • Every business is different, so your policy may include different types of coverage depending on your trade, number of employees, and scope of work. Some common coverages that may be part of a contractors insurance policy include:

    • General Liability Insurance: May help if you’re responsible for property damage or bodily injury to someone else.
    • Commercial Auto Insurance: If your business uses vehicles, this coverage may help with accidents or damage involving those vehicles.
    • Tools and Equipment Coverage: Can provide protection for the tools and equipment you use on the job.
    • Workers’ Compensation: Required in most cases if you have employees in Pennsylvania, this coverage may assist with workplace injuries.
    • Commercial Property Insurance: If you have an office or storage facility, this may help with damages due to fire, theft, or other risks.
    • Professional Liability: Also known as errors and omissions insurance, this can be important if your work includes design, consultation, or oversight.

    Our team can walk you through each type of coverage and help you decide what may be appropriate for your business.

  • Drywall contractors face specific risks on the job, such as lifting injuries, damage to finished surfaces, and issues with material storage. At Shoemaker’s Insurance, we’re familiar with the drywall trade and how it differs from general construction.

    Drywall business insurance may include more specialized options, such as:

    • Coverage for tools in transit or on-site
    • Liability related to completed operations
    • Equipment breakdowns
    • Material theft from job sites

    We understand that drywall contractors often subcontract or get subcontracted by general contractors. We can help ensure your policy accounts for these working relationships and supports the day-to-day realities of your business.

  • There isn’t a single law that applies to all drywall businesses across Pennsylvania, but contractors are often required to carry general liability insurance and workers’ compensation if they have employees. Many general contractors and project managers will also require proof of insurance before allowing you on the job site.

    Insurance may also be necessary if you’re applying for local licenses or permits. Each township or city in Pennsylvania may have different requirements, so it’s a good idea to check with your local municipality.

    We can help guide you through these requirements and ensure you’re not missing anything important for your drywall business.

  • The cost of contractors insurance in Pennsylvania varies based on several factors, including:

    • The type of work you do
    • Your business location
    • Number of employees
    • Claims history
    • Coverage limits and deductibles

    Drywall contractors may have different pricing than general contractors or trades like plumbing or electrical. Because each business is different, we take a personalized approach to quoting. We’ll work with you to understand your operations and help you find insurance options that meet your needs and budget.

  • Yes. We regularly work with independent contractors across Pennsylvania, including self-employed tradespeople and small businesses. Even if you’re just starting out, having insurance in place can help you build trust with clients and protect yourself from unexpected expenses.

    We can help you explore affordable options designed for independent contractors who don’t have employees or large equipment fleets.
