Handyman Insurance in Wisconsin
Are you really a handyman in the eyes of the insurance Company?
Making sure you are rated and classified correctly is the first step in your insurance search. Some contractors think, just because they do multiple things, they are a handyman. This not necessarily correct.
Most insurance companies in Wisconsin deem a handyman and a person doing projects of short duration. We are talking about an afternoon project, such as a screen door install or installing some window blinds. But generally, the projects are less than 3-4 days. Other examples might be home maintenance, small home repairs, simple installations.
They might also do minor electrical and plumbing work that doesn’t require a permit or license. It’s important the classification is chosen correctly, because if you are really an interior carpenter it might be lower cost. Insurance companies can view handyman insurance as a negative thing. Jack of all trades and master of none. But some insurance companies have a program specifically for it. We want to make sure you are covered correctly.
What is handyman insurance anyway?
Handyman insurance is general liability insurance. It is a very important part of your insurance program and normally the first policy you will buy. It is the primary or core insurance policy for your Wisconsin handyman business. General liability insurance covers bodily injury and property damage claims. There are several different limits of liability coverage, like $300,000/$600,000, $500,000/$1,000,000 and $1,000,000/$2,000,000, which is most common and highly recommended. There can also be a property damage deductible. This means you would pay the first say, $1,000, $2,500 or $5,000 if you were to be damaged something “other than” what you are were working on. This should be taken into considered before purchasing your handyman liability insurance policy. General liability insurance covers your premises, products, operations and completed operation (once your work is done).
