Drywall contractors in California face unique risks every day—from property damage to workplace injuries. Two essential policies that protect your business are General Liability Insurance and Workers’ Compensation Insurance. Here’s why these coverages matter and how Stonepoint Insurance Services can help.
1. What is General Liability Insurance?
General liability insurance protects your drywall business against third-party claims for property damage and bodily injury. For example, if a client’s wall is damaged during installation or a visitor trips over your equipment, this policy covers legal fees and settlements. Without it, you could face thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket expenses.
2. Why Workers’ Compensation is Mandatory
California law requires businesses with employees to carry workers’ compensation insurance. Drywall work involves heavy lifting, sharp tools, and ladders—making injuries a real possibility. Workers’ comp covers medical bills, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs for injured employees, ensuring compliance and financial protection.
3. How These Policies Protect Your Bottom Line
Accidents can happen even to the most experienced contractors. Without proper coverage, a single claim could jeopardize your business. These policies safeguard your finances, reputation, and ability to continue operating.
