We are offering a program that is for Artisan Contractors doing commercial and residential work.   What is an artisan contractor? I would explain it best as someone that can provide a service to make your home or business look better, like:

  • Landscapers
  • Concrete contractors
  • Painting contractors
  • Roofers
  • Remodelers
  • Gutter Contractors
  • Grading and Excavation Contractors
  • General Contractors
  • Masonry Contractors
  • Solar Installation

You are definitely seeing them out and about right now. As the weather warms up, this is when these types of businesses thrive because much of their work is weather permitting.   Artisan contractors can also be described as: The category of artisan contractors, also known as casual contractors, includes many occupations that involve skilled work with tools at the customer’s premises. Carpenters, plumbers, electricians, roofers and tree surgeons are some of them. Also included are diverse other skilled service providers, such as interior decorators, piano tuners and exterminators. Special insurance needs of this group include coverage for equipment and tools that are often moved around and for the value of work done for a customer until it is finished. For many artisan contractors, the most cost effective and efficient way to obtain property and liability coverage is with a Businessowners Policy (BOP) especially tailored to their needs. Although marketed under a variety of names, these policies will typically have provisions similar to the BOP's.” according to iii.org. Some other service classifications that this policy can cover are:

  • Fitness or dance instructors
  • DJ’s
  • Photographers
  • Equipment rental companies
  • Medical equipment
  • Catering companies
  • Loggers
  • Mobile mechanics
