What insurance does a carpenter need?
Most carpentry businesses start with general liability, then review workers comp, tools and equipment, and commercial auto based on their crews and operations. Framing, finish work, cabinetry, installation, project size, and contract requirements can change the final mix.
- General liability is commonly requested before a carpenter can work at a customer property or on a general-contractor-controlled jobsite.
- Workers comp matters when carpenters, apprentices, or helpers are employees or when a contract asks for proof of coverage.
- Portable tools, materials, vans, trucks, and trailers often create separate equipment and commercial auto questions.
