Flooring contractors face unique risks, from heavy materials and tools to client property exposure. Understanding how insurance companies calculate premiums for flooring contractor business insurance can help you get the right coverage at the best price.
This guide explains the main factors insurers consider and shows how Wexford Insurance can help flooring businesses get fast, tailored insurance quotes.
Key Factors Insurance Companies Consider
Insurance companies assess risk using several key factors:
The type of flooring you install affects premiums. For example:
Hardwood or tile installation may involve more risk than carpet installation.
Commercial projects can carry higher liability than residential work.
2. Business Size and Revenue
Insurance companies consider your:
Annual revenue
Number of employees
Size of projects
Higher revenue or a larger workforce typically leads to higher premiums.
Past claims indicate potential future risk. Businesses with frequent claims or lawsuits may pay more than those with a clean history.
4. Coverage Types and Limits
Premiums depend on the coverage you choose:
General Liability Insurance: Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage.
Workers’ Compensation Insurance: Covers employee injuries on the job.
Commercial Auto Insurance: Covers work vehicles and drivers.
Tools & Equipment Coverage: Protects expensive installation tools.
Professional Liability (Errors & Omissions): Covers workmanship disputes.
Higher coverage limits generally increase costs, while bundling policies can sometimes lower premiums.
5. Location
Your business location affects risk factors like:
State insurance regulations
Local labor laws
Crime or accident rates in your area
6. Safety Measures
Insurance companies reward businesses with safety programs, employee training, and proper equipment usage, which can lower premiums.
