Contractors insurance for Utah businesses.

Coverage designed for the unique risks contractors face on job sites throughout Utah.

If your Utah business involves construction, remodeling, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, landscaping, roofing, or any trade work — whether you’re a solo operator or managing a crew — standard policies often fall short.

Contractors insurance in Utah addresses the heightened risks of job sites in Salt Lake City, Provo, Ogden, St. George, Logan, Lehi, and beyond, including high-altitude weather extremes, snow and ice slips, heavy equipment use, on-site accidents, third-party property damage, employee injuries under the state’s varied mountain and desert climates, and material theft from urban or remote sites.

In Utah, contractors face exposures like slips and falls on icy or dusty surfaces, damage to client property during builds or renovations, tool and equipment theft (a common issue in growing urban and rural areas alike), liability from subcontractors, and workers’ compensation claims for injuries sustained on the job. Personal or general business policies may deny claims if the activity is deemed professional contracting work. Workers’ compensation is mandatory for businesses with one or more employees per Utah law (administered by the Utah Labor Commission), covering medical costs, lost wages, and rehabilitation for on-the-job injuries — and licensed contractors must provide proof of coverage (or a waiver if no employees) to the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional Licensing (DOPL) for licensing, maintenance, or renewal.

General liability insurance (required by DOPL for all licensed contractors with minimums of $100,000 per incident / $300,000 total, and often higher limits like $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate required by clients, general contractors, developers, and project specs) protects against third-party claims for bodily injury or property damage caused by your work. Many Utah contractors also need commercial auto coverage for vehicles hauling tools, materials, or crew across state highways, plus optional protections such as inland marine (for tools and equipment), builders risk (for ongoing construction projects), and professional liability (for design-build or consulting trades).

We partner with Utah contractors — from DOPL-licensed professionals to specialty trades — to align coverage with actual operations, ensure compliance with state requirements and client contract demands, and protect against gaps so claims are paid promptly when incidents occur on Utah job sites.
