Handyman General Liability Coverage

Handymen do it all and need affordable liability insurance coverage

If you're a handyman, you seem to be a Jack of All Trades in numerous repairs and maintenance projects. You will likely have many years of practice, study and experience. Most construction contractors can just focus on just one type of repair, like plumbing, electrical, roofing, painting, appliance installation, carpentry, etc. Whereas you must be proficient in many different industries all at once.

Professional handymen are expected to be proficient, and are called countless times to do projects like:

  • Carpentry – installing and repairing doors, windows, cabinets, shelves, countertops, etc.
  • Flooring – whether it be tile, hardwood, laminate, carpeting, or linoleum.
  • Roofing – roof leak repair to rain gutters, you do it all.
  • Plumbing – leaky faucets, pipes, or drains to installing sinks and toilets.
  • Electrical – replacing outlets, switches, lighting, and bulbs, and installing thermostats, doorbells, alarms, and security cameras.
  • Painting – inside or outside, caulking, sanding, scraping, trim boards, walls, or trim work.
  • Landscaping – planting trees, bushes, and flowers, installing proper drainage, lawn edging, fencing, sheds, paving stones, irrigation systems, and repairing boarder and retaining walls.

 

Worker and client shaking hands: Handymen need to protect themselves with liability coverage

You may be performing diagnosis and basic maintenance in commercial or residential environments, specializing in one or many industries. You may find that you need to recommend a specialist for more complex situations. It's best not to try to fix something that is well beyond the scope of your knowledge, skill and abilities. This will save you time and heartache from getting in too deep. It will also save you in your contractor's general liability insurance premiums by reducing your risk.

Unfortunately, even after all your versatility, you still don't get paid as well as a single industry specialist. Your risk, however, is even greater than those of single-skill professionals. Whether you are working for a large company or are self-employed, you will need to protect your business and your personal assets. Just as you need to carry specialized tools, you will also need to carry a specialized, quality, and affordable Handyman Contractor's General Liability Insurance Policy.

General Liability Insurance Policies are also riddled with many limitations, exclusions, riders, rate-ups and limits, written in a legalize boilerplate format in order to shield the insurance company from ever paying out in a claim.
