Insurance for
Roofing Contractors

Roofing is one of the highest-risk trades in insurance due to fall hazards, property damage exposure, and storm-chasing competition that drives up claims.

What roofing contractors typically need

Based on our experience working with roofing contractors across Kentucky, Indiana, and Tennessee, here are the coverage types you should have in place:

  • General liability
  • Workers compensation (high rates)
  • Commercial auto
  • Tools and equipment
  • Umbrella liability
  • Surety bonds for larger projects

Kentucky-specific requirements

Workers comp rates for roofing in Kentucky are among the highest of any trade. We shop across specialty carriers to find competitive rates. Most roofing companies need $1M/$2M GL minimums.

We represent top-rated carriers including specialty markets for roofing contractors, which means we can often find coverage that generalist agencies cannot. We also handle certificates of insurance, additional insured endorsements, and audit support.

Why choose The Way Agency for roofing contractors insurance?

Industry experience. We understand the specific risks, contract requirements, and coverage gaps that roofing contractors face. We don't sell generic policies - we build programs that match real-world operations.

Carrier access. As an independent agency, we access markets that captive agents and direct-to-carrier sites cannot. For specialty trades, this access is the difference between getting covered and getting declined.

Certificate management. We handle COIs, additional insured requests, and evidence of coverage quickly. When you need a certificate for a job site by tomorrow morning, we make it happen.

Claims advocacy. When something goes wrong on a job, we help you navigate the claims process and push back on the carrier when needed. We work for you, not the insurance company.
