The points that usually matter most

Jobsite liability

General liability is designed for third-party injury or property damage allegations that can arise while roofing work is underway.

Completed operations

Roofing claims do not always show up on the day the job ends, so completed-work exposure is a major part of the review.

Contract requirements

Many commercial and residential contracts require proof of liability insurance, certificates, and sometimes additional insured wording.
