Insurance for Residential General Contractors

A Business Owner's Policy (BOP) is one way to buy business insurance. A BOP is essentially a package of coverages that address specific concerns that are typical to a certain type of business and can be underwritten and competitively priced for a specific industry or segment of an industry. BOPs can include property, liability, commercial auto and umbrella coverages in one policy. In many cases Workers Compensations is also available.

There are a number of BOP's outlined on this site. If you're wondering if an insurance package exists for your line of business, contact Griffin Insurance today.
