Frequently Asked Questions
Do contractors need E&O insurance?
While not legally required in most states, E&O insurance is essential for contractors. Many commercial clients, property owners, and bonding companies require professional liability coverage before awarding contracts. Even small contractors need protection because a single claim can cost tens of thousands in legal fees.
What does contractor E&O insurance cover?
E&O insurance covers faulty workmanship, design defects, defective materials, building code violations, project delays, cost overruns, failure to meet specifications, legal defense costs, settlements, and judgments related to professional negligence in construction services.
What's the difference between general liability and E&O insurance?
General liability covers third-party injuries and property damage during operations. E&O insurance covers financial losses from professional mistakes in completed work. General liability does NOT cover defects in your finished work—that’s where E&O insurance is essential. Contractors need both for complete protection.
