Why Your Roofer Must Be Insured

A quick online search will give you plenty of roofing companies to choose from. You can narrow down your list of prospective contractors by checking if they are licensed and insured. Make sure they have liability and workers’ compensation insurance. Furthermore, verify the status of their insurance policies. These should be active and under the contractor’s name.

Working with an insured roofing company will give you the following benefits.

Protection for You and Their Workers

You’re responsible for your property and everything that may happen on its premises. If a worker gets injured while repairing or installing your roof, you’ll be held accountable for the accident and you’ll have to pay for the worker’s medical expenses. But if your roofing contractor has workers’ compensation insurance, you don’t have to worry about any of that. The workers’ compensation could be used to cover the hospital bills.

Protection Against Damage to Your Property

Liability insurance protects you from any expenses resulting from the contractor’s incompetence. If the workers accidentally damage any area in your residence, their liability insurance would pay for the repairs.

Trust and Confidence in the Company

An insured roofer is easier to trust, so you can feel more confident in hiring them and letting them into your property. Furthermore, if a roofing company has the necessary insurance, it means they’re dependable and they have concern not just for the clients but for their employees as well. You can expect to have a good working relationship with them because you know you can trust them. This can have a significant impact on your entire project.
