Coverage for Roofer Contractors

General Liability

Covers bodily injury and property damage to third parties caused by your work. Required on virtually every commercial job, permit pull, or GC subcontract in Texas.

Completed Operations

Protects you after the job is finished. If work you performed causes damage days or weeks later, completed operations responds. Critical for any trade work that touches occupied structures.

Additional Insureds

GCs, property owners, and municipalities will require you to add them to your policy. We handle endorsements so your COI is accepted the first time.

Waiver of Subrogation

Required on most Texas commercial contracts and government work. We add it correctly when your contract requires it.

Workers’ Comp

Required when you have employees. Covers medical bills and lost wages for workers injured on the job. GCs and commercial clients typically require proof before allowing crews on site.

Commercial Auto

Vehicles used for service calls, material hauling, or job-site transport need commercial auto coverage. Personal auto policies exclude business use.

Roofer-Specific Risk

Roofing is among the highest-liability trades for insurance carriers. Height exposure, water intrusion risk, and the potential for large completed operations claims means online binding through standard storefronts is often a poor fit. Carriers that write roofers online frequently carry exclusions that leave contractors exposed on claims. Our specialists place roofing GL with carriers that understand the trade — and get the COI wording right for your specific GC or permit requirements.

Who This Is For

Residential Roofers

New roof installs, replacements, repairs. Roofing GL is available but requires specialist placement for proper coverage and COI wording. Call or schedule for same-day turnaround on most standard residential accounts.

Storm & Hail Repair

High-volume storm work, insurance claims, and post-hail repairs. Carriers vary significantly in how they handle storm-focused operations — we know which markets fit.

Commercial Roofers

Flat roofs, TPO, EPDM, modified bitumen. Commercial roofing requires specialty markets and often higher limits. Our specialists handle commercial placement with the right carriers.

Metal & Specialty Roofing

Metal roofing, tile, slate, and specialty systems. Coverage available with the right carriers — advisor review ensures you’re not underinsured on specialty work.

Common Questions

Why does roofing go to an advisor instead of online binding?
Roofing carries higher liability than most trades — height exposure, water intrusion, and large completed operations claims make it a poor fit for standard online storefronts. Many carriers that write roofers online include exclusions that leave you exposed. Our advisors place roofing with carriers that understand the trade.
How fast can I get a COI for a roofing job?
For most standard residential roofers with no prior claims, we can typically place coverage and deliver a COI same-day or next-day through our advisor path. Call 210-640-7050 or schedule online to get started immediately.
What GL limits do roofing GCs require in Texas?
Most GCs require $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate minimum. Some larger commercial or municipal projects require $2M per occurrence or higher. We review your contract requirements and make sure limits match.
Does roofing GL cover water damage from a leak after the job?
Yes — completed operations coverage is the key provision here. It covers property damage claims that arise after your work is done, including water intrusion from a roof you installed or repaired. Make sure your policy explicitly includes completed operations — not all roofing policies do.
I had a prior claim — can I still get covered?
Yes, prior claims don’t automatically disqualify you, but they do affect pricing and carrier options. Our advisors shop multiple markets to find the best fit for roofers with prior loss history.
