What is Specialty Contractor Insurance?

Contractors carry out this type of insurance. Professional liability insurance is one component of specialty contractors insurance (also known as errors and omissions insurance). If you sue your contractor for faulty work or fail to meet your expectations, specialty contractor insurance works to ensure that they can cover the costs and damages associated with your claim. 

Specialty contractor insurance can also cover the builder’s risk, which covers your home during construction. This type of coverage is important in the event of a fire or other unexpected damage to your property.
