Contractors Insurance in California
Coverage Built for Contractors
Contractors across California face unique risks every day—from jobsite accidents and property damage to vehicle-related claims. Whether you’re a plumber, electrician, painter, or general contractor, having the right contractors insurance in California is essential to protect your business, your license, and your income.
At ECHO Business Insurance Services, we specialize in helping contractors secure coverage that fits how they actually operate. As an independent agency, we compare multiple top-rated insurance carriers to build policies tailored to your trade, project size, and risk profile—without pushing one-size-fits-all solutions.
Insurance Designed Around Your Operations
Every contractor’s business is different. Whether you perform a single trade or manage multiple crews across job sites, your insurance should reflect your real-world exposure. Our team understands the insurance requirements contractors face, including licensing rules, contract requirements, and jobsite compliance.
We work with contractors across California to design insurance programs that help protect against unexpected losses while supporting long-term growth.
Common Coverages for Contractors
Depending on your trade and operations, contractors insurance may include:
- General Liability Insurance - Helps cover third-party bodily injury, property damage, and completed operations claims.
- Workers’ Compensation Insurance - Required in California for businesses with employees and critical for protecting both workers and employers.
- Commercial Auto Insurance - Covers vehicles used for business operations, including trucks, vans, and jobsite transport.
- Contractor License Bonds - Often required to maintain an active contractor’s license and comply with state regulations.
- Tools & Equipment Coverage (Inland Marine) - Helps protect tools and equipment that move between job sites or are stored off-premises.
- Builders Risk Insurance (Course of Construction) - Provides coverage for buildings under construction or renovation.
Not every contractor needs every coverage. Our role is to help you identify what applies to your business—and what doesn’t.
We can also help contractors stay compliant with CSLB requirements, including securing the correct contractor license bond.

- Compare multiple insurance carriers
- Identify coverage gaps before they become claims
- Adjust your insurance as your business grows
- Help you meet contract and licensing requirements
Our goal is to make contractors insurance straightforward, compliant, and aligned with your operations—not confusing or overpriced.
