Roofing Contractor Insurance That Covers the Real Risks

Roofing is consistently one of the most difficult construction trades to insure — and one of the most important to get right. Falls from height, fire from torch-applied roofing, and water intrusion from faulty installation create significant liability and workers compensation exposure. Grandbay works with specialty markets to place programs that reflect the true nature of your roofing operations, whether you're doing residential shingles or large-scale commercial membrane systems.

Risk Advisory

Key Exposures We Address

Roofing Contractors operations carry distinct risks that require specialized coverage strategies. Our team identifies and mitigates the exposures most likely to impact your business.

01
Falls from Height
Roofing consistently ranks among the highest-risk construction trades for fatal falls, creating severe workers compensation and OSHA liability exposure.
02
Fire from Torch Operations
Torch-applied roofing systems create significant fire risk to the structure being roofed and adjacent properties.
03
Water Intrusion Claims
Faulty roofing installation can result in water intrusion that causes extensive interior property damage — often discovered months or years after completion.
04
Material Theft
Roofing materials staged on job sites are frequent targets for theft, creating significant out-of-pocket replacement costs.
05
Weather-Related Delays
Weather delays on roofing projects can expose partially completed structures to water damage, creating property and liability claims.
06
Completed Operations Tail
Roofing warranty claims and water intrusion discovered years after installation require long-tail completed operations coverage.
