$1M to $2M above GL is common for residential repair contractors. Commercial repair contractors and storm restoration operators working for large GCs often need $5M to $10M or more in combined limits.

Increasingly yes, especially for commercial storm restoration projects. GCs and commercial property owners require higher combined limits on subcontractor certificates — umbrella is the standard way to achieve those limits cost-effectively.

Cost is driven by crew size, payroll, revenue, repair vs. storm restoration mix, states worked, and loss history. We quote your actual operation in about 15 minutes.

Yes. Contractors Choice Agency is licensed in all 50 states and writes roofing repair programs nationwide — storm markets, year-round repair operations, and multi-state crews.
