Getting The Right Coverage

Getting Arizona Contractor Insurance Right

Every construction firm faces unique risks.

Standard one-size-fits-all contractor insurance packages rarely provide optimal protections. The appropriate insurance provides protection against major risks.

As the #1 licensed independent insurance agent in Arizona, The Allen Thomas Group conducts in-depth risk profile assessments to understand coverage for Arizona contractors by exploring their business insurance needs and vulnerabilities across factors like:

Business Lifecycle Stage – Rapidly growing contractors need different coverage options than established enterprises.
Geographic Service Areas – Urban Phoenix builders assume distinct community risks from rural Flagstaff remodelers.
Common Project Exposures – Elevated risks demand higher liability limits or specialty coverages like rigging/lifting insurance.
Subcontractor Contract Terms – We review the subcontractor agreement fine print to confirm adequate protections govern all tiers.

These insights, plus 20+ years of Arizona construction insurance experience, inform tailored coverage solutions meeting contractors’ specialized situations. We become familiar as friends, not salespeople, to architect the ideal insurance and risk management fortress.

General Liability Insurance

No Arizona contractor should work a single day without general liability coverage.

Liability insurance safeguards you from massive payouts if a third party alleges your finished work caused bodily injury or property damage.

One minor defect could equal one mammoth lawsuit without adequate liability limits.

For example, say a homeowner slips on a smooth subsurface you installed at their property, severely injuring themselves.

They could sue your contractor business for substantial compensation, including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

General liability insurance can help protect against legal defense and handles payouts up to your defined limits so the costs don’t devastate your construction business.

Tools and Equipment Insurance

Construction gear doesn’t come cheap. Business insurance can protect backhoes, cement mixers, generators, and other expensive equipment against physical damage, theft, and give contractors invaluable peace of mind.

The Allen Thomas Group partners with top-rated insurers to provide you with the insurance you need to cover heavy-duty assets at competitive rates no matter their scale or specialization.

We account for common exclusions around natural wear-and-tear while accommodating useful add-ons like rental reimbursement coverage activating when damaged tools force you to lease backup equipment.

Keeping projects moving forward remains priority one.

Builders' Risk Insurance

Builders’ Risk Insurance is important for construction contractors in Arizona.

It offers protecting to the structure itself during ongoing projects against vandalism, fire, and other disasters.

The Allen Thomas Group is happy to customize policy around your unique needs.

Commercial Property Insurance

Unforeseen disasters, from floods to fires, can ravage uninsured tools, equipment, and job site materials.

According to statistics from the Insurance Information Institute, over 9% of Arizona construction firms suffer property damage from causes like wind and hail annually.

The right insurance will cover all risks and help you operate without financial catastrophe.

As native Arizonans, we understand the climate risks facing contractors across the state. We also understand your insurance requirements.

An office contents policy securing indoor assets like computers and files can suffice for small contractors.

Larger companies with warehouses, temporary on-site trailers, and more may require customized commercial building insurance covering all locations housing valuables.

We find the best coverage by responding to how contractors actually utilize properties and sites.

Commercial Auto Insurance

Your personal auto insurance does not cover business vehicles.

But personally insuring contractor trucks, trailers, and other vehicles often proves impossible due to usage demands.

Commercial policies account for high mileage, job site hazards, employee drivers, and other factors unique to construction fleet operations.

As a top insurance agency, we are happy to tailor vehicle insurance coverage around how contractors truly utilize their mobile equipment with options like:

Hired/Non-Owned Auto Coverage protects against third-party liability claims when employees drive rented vehicles for work purposes.
Trailer Interchange Policies simplify coverage for contractors frequently swapping trailers with other firms.
Personal Use Exceptions allow employees to occasionally utilize company vehicles for reasonable private purposes without voiding commercial coverage.

Workers' Compensation Insurance

Workers comp is a mandatory coverage required by law that provides critical support for injured employees.

The Industrial Commission of Arizona enforces strict workers’ comp regulations with fines of up to $500 daily for non-compliance. Don’t risk penalties!

The Allen Thomas Group guides contractors through state requirements, ensuring your workers’ comp policy checks all the boxes.

When you have the coverage you need, you can rest easy that no worker’s claims threaten your business.

The right insurance can provide you peace of mind and protect your Arizona construction business.

Most importantly, it gives your crews the guarantee that work accidents won’t jeopardize their livelihoods.

We ease the claims process so workers receive medical care, disability payments, and more while they recover.

Coverage for your business is like a safety net.

Additional Types of Coverage

Policy limits and surety bonds represent two final crucial coverage considerations.

The Allen Thomas Group advises on optimal liability limits and guides clients through securing Arizona bid, license, performance, and payment bonds mandating proof of financial stability.

In particular, public sector construction projects often require surety bonds guaranteeing your ability to deliver contracted work without shortcuts under bonded assurances up to the full project value.

Obtaining bonding capacity demands financial rigor many small contractors lack, potentially barring them from the most lucrative projects.

We actively assist contractors with building credible capability statements and status, positioning them to earn surety partnerships over time.

Stress-free Solutions

Considerations for Contruction Business Owners in Arizona

Without adequate liability limits, you risk substantial out-of-pocket costs if a major claim occurs.

The Allen Thomas Group analyzes your contracts, claim history, subcontractors, and other factors to determine optimal coverage limits protecting you from financial ruin.

Rather than one-size-fits-all policies, the best plans match specific risks of your construction specialty – high-rise framing or foundation pouring.

Failing to account for these unique exposures leaves dangerous coverage gaps. We ask in-depth questions about your focus, project sizes, safety protocols, and legal vulnerabilities when crafting customized general liability, workers compensation, equipment insurance and builders risk policies around your business’s needs.

Even with strong coverage, maximizing claim payouts requires navigating complex insurance procedures.

From negotiating with adjusters to properly compiling documentation under tight deadlines, contractors have a lot on hand.

Our risk experts guide you through each step of the claims process – from prompt reporting to efficient submission of required materials.

We battle for optimal payouts so you can resume operations after losses.
