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:

  1. Business Size & Payroll – More employees = higher workers’ comp costs.

  2. Annual Revenue – Larger projects increase liability exposure.

  3. Services Offered – Roof replacement vs. minor repairs affects risk.

  4. Claims History – Previous claims can increase premiums.

  5. Safety Practices – Proper training, fall protection, and certifications can lower rates.


Step-by-Step: How Roofing Contractors Can Get an Accurate Quote

Step 1: Prepare Your Business Info

Insurers will ask for:

  • Type of roofing services

  • Years in business

  • Employee count and payroll

  • Vehicle usage

  • Tools & equipment inventory


Step 2: Identify Your Coverage Needs


Step 3: Compare Quotes From Multiple Providers

Use agencies or online tools to see:

  • Coverage limits

  • Premium costs

  • Deductibles

  • Policy exclusions


Step 4: Ask About Discounts

Some ways to save:

  • Bundling multiple policies

  • Implementing safety programs

  • Paying annual premiums upfront


Step 5: Finalize the Policy

Once you choose the best quote, you’ll receive certificates of insurance for clients, contractors, and permits.
