At McDonough Insurance Services, we help contractors and small business owners find insurance solutions that support their daily operations, long-term growth, and risk management goals.
A comprehensive roofing business insurance program typically includes several coverages.
That’s why we create policies that protect you where it matters most. Here’s what’s included in our roofing business policy:
Helps protect against third-party bodily injury and property damage claims. This coverage is often required by clients, general contractors, and project owners before work begins.
Protects if roof repairs lead to further damage or customer complaints. This ensures you can cover repair costs or legal fees without affecting your cash flow.
Tools and equipment coverage may help replace or repair essential business equipment damaged by theft, vandalism, or covered losses.
Commercial auto insurance helps protect vehicles used for business purposes, including trucks, vans, and work vehicles transporting equipment and materials.
Workers' compensation insurance provides benefits when employees suffer work-related injuries or illnesses. It can help cover medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation costs.
A complete policy that combines liability, property, equipment, and vehicle coverage. This all-in-one plan simplifies insurance, so you’re fully protected under one comprehensive policy.
Additional coverage options may include umbrella liability, inland marine coverage, and specialized policies based on the scope of your roofing operations.
Handyman insurance is designed for a wide range of professionals, including independent handymen, self-employed contractors, property maintenance providers, apartment maintenance professionals, and small businesses that perform residential or commercial repair work.
Whether you specialize in carpentry repairs, drywall work, fixture installation, painting, minor plumbing repairs, or general maintenance services, having the right insurance coverage can help protect your business from common risks.
General liability insurance for handyman businesses is often the foundation of coverage. It can help protect against third-party bodily injury claims, property damage, legal expenses, and completed work claims.
Workers’ compensation insurance helps cover medical expenses and lost wages when employees suffer work-related injuries. Commercial property and equipment coverage can help protect tools, equipment, and business property from covered losses, while commercial auto insurance may provide protection for vehicles used for business purposes.
Many businesses also benefit from a Business Owner’s Policy (BOP), which combines key coverages into a convenient insurance solution.
Many handymen operate as sole proprietors or independent contractors. Self-employed handyman insurance can provide valuable protection even when there are no employees involved. Coverage can be tailored to the type of work performed, project size, and business goals.
Insurance for self-employed handymen can also help satisfy customer requirements and create opportunities to secure larger projects.
Many handyman businesses provide ongoing property maintenance services for homeowners, landlords, and commercial properties. Property maintenance insurance helps address the risks associated with routine repairs, maintenance work, and building upkeep.
At McDonough Insurance Services, we help maintenance professionals evaluate coverage options that align with their services and operational risks, helping them stay protected as their businesses grow.
Handyman insurance costs depend on several factors, including the services performed, annual revenue, number of employees, claims history, business location, and coverage limits selected.
Because every business is different, obtaining a customized handyman insurance quote is the most effective way to determine the coverage and pricing that fit your needs.
Finding affordable handyman insurance is about balancing cost and protection. Choosing the right coverage limits, maintaining safe work practices, and implementing effective risk management strategies can help reduce exposure to claims.
McDonough Insurance Services works with business owners to identify practical insurance solutions while helping them better understand the risks associated with their operations.
McDonough Insurance Services understands the unique challenges contractors face every day. We work with handyman businesses, property maintenance professionals, and independent contractors to identify potential risks and recommend coverage options that fit their needs.

As a new franchisee with FirstLight Home Care, I can confidently say that this company has gone above and beyond to meet my needs. After experiencing a difficult situation with another insurance provider while setting up coverage for my business, I was feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about next steps. Nanette immediately stepped in and provided exceptional support. She walked me through the entire process, helping to resolve the issues and bring clarity to what had become a very stressful situation. Her willingness to be available—even during late evenings for calls, emails, and text messages—truly set her apart. Throughout every interaction, I was met with professionalism, patience, and genuine care. It’s rare to find that level of dedication and responsiveness.
