Flooring contractor business insurance is essential for protecting your company, employees, and clients—but that doesn’t mean you should overpay for coverage. Understanding how insurers price policies and knowing where savings opportunities exist can help you lower your insurance costs without reducing protection.
This guide explains practical ways flooring contractors can save money on business insurance and how working with Wexford Insurance can help you secure competitive rates.
Understand What Drives Your Insurance Costs
Before reducing costs, it’s important to understand what impacts pricing. Insurance companies typically consider:
Type of flooring services offered
Business revenue and payroll
Number of employees
Claims history
Coverage limits and deductibles
Location and state regulations
Proven Ways to Lower Flooring Contractor Insurance Costs
1. Bundle Your Insurance Policies
Bundling multiple policies—such as general liability, workers’ compensation, commercial auto, and tools coverage—can often reduce overall premiums. Many insurers offer discounts for combining coverages under one provider.
2. Maintain a Clean Claims History
Frequent claims can significantly increase premiums. To reduce risk:
Train employees on jobsite safety
Use proper protective equipment
Follow installation best practices
Fewer claims help demonstrate lower risk to insurance companies.
Choosing a higher deductible can lower monthly or annual premiums. This approach works best if your business has enough cash flow to cover smaller claims without financial strain.
4. Review Coverage Limits Regularly
Carrying more coverage than necessary can inflate costs. Review your policies annually to ensure limits match your actual business needs, especially if your operations or revenue change.
5. Implement Safety Programs
Insurance companies often reward businesses that prioritize safety. Consider:
Employee training programs
Equipment maintenance schedules
Clear jobsite safety procedures
These steps may qualify your business for lower premiums.
6. Work With a Contractor-Focused Insurance Agency
Not all insurance agencies understand the unique risks flooring contractors face. Working with a specialist helps ensure you’re not paying for unnecessary coverage—or missing critical protection.
