Securing insurance is a critical step for garage door installation businesses. But requesting a quote isn’t just about submitting your business name—it’s about providing the right information to get an accurate and affordable policy.
This guide walks contractors through the process of requesting a garage door installation insurance quote, common pitfalls to avoid, and how Wexford Insurance makes it fast and simple.
Step 1: Gather Your Business Information
Insurance providers need detailed information to issue a precise quote. Be ready with:
Business Details: Legal structure, years in operation, and office location
Services Provided: Residential or commercial installations, repairs, or automation work
Employee Details: Number of employees and roles
Vehicles & Equipment: Value of trucks, ladders, tools, and machinery
Revenue Estimates: Expected annual revenue and contracts
Past Claims History: Any previous insurance claims
Having this prepared reduces back-and-forth and speeds up your quote process.
Step 2: Understand the Coverages You May Need
Quotes are only meaningful if you know what coverages your business requires. Common coverages for garage door contractors include:
General Liability Insurance – Covers bodily injury, property damage, and legal defense costs
Workers’ Compensation Insurance – Required if you have employees, covering work-related injuries
Commercial Auto Insurance – Protects company vehicles used to transport tools and materials
Tools & Equipment Coverage – Protects installation tools and machinery
Professional Liability Insurance (Optional) – Covers errors or faulty installations
Step 3: Decide on Coverage Limits and Deductibles
When requesting a quote, specifying desired limits and deductibles ensures the quote reflects your actual needs.
Higher limits = more protection but higher premiums
Higher deductibles = lower premiums but more out-of-pocket costs
Wexford Insurance can help you choose the right balance between cost and protection.
Step 4: Choose How to Request the Quote
Quotes can usually be requested via:
Online forms – Quick and convenient for preliminary estimates
Phone consultations – Helpful for detailed explanations and questions
Agent-assisted applications – Best for tailored, bundled coverage recommendations
Step 5: Compare Quotes and Clarify Exclusions
Once you receive quotes:
Make sure all coverage limits, deductibles, and inclusions match
Check for policy exclusions—some may leave gaps in protection
Ask questions if anything is unclear before committing
Step 6: Work with a Specialist Insurance Provider
Specialized providers like Wexford Insurance streamline the process:
Fast, accurate quotes tailored to garage door installation businesses
Recommendations for the right combination of coverages
Bundled policy options for cost savings
Access to multiple carriers for competitive pricing
Conclusion
Requesting a garage door installation business insurance quote doesn’t have to be complicated. By preparing detailed business information, understanding required coverages, specifying limits, and working with a specialist like Wexford Insurance contractors can get fast, accurate quotes and ensure comprehensive protection for their company, employees, and clients.
