For roofing contractors, understanding insurance costs starts with getting a roofing insurance quote. Quotes are more than just numbers—they help you plan your budget, understand coverage needs, and qualify for contracts. This guide focuses entirely on the quote process, tips to save money, and how Wexford Insurance can help you get insured quickly.

Why a Roofing Insurance Quote Matters
A quote is your roadmap to protection. Without one, you won’t know how much coverage will cost, which policies you need, or how to meet client requirements.
Getting a quote also:
Helps you plan cash flow
Highlights potential coverage gaps
Shows options from multiple carriers
Factors That Affect Your Roofing Insurance Quote
When requesting a quote, insurers consider several factors:
Business Size & Payroll – More employees = higher workers’ comp costs.
Annual Revenue – Larger projects increase liability exposure.
Services Offered – Roof replacement vs. minor repairs affects risk.
Claims History – Previous claims can increase premiums.
Safety Practices – Proper training, fall protection, and certifications can lower rates.
