Subcontractor insurance is essential if you are doing any kind of work on your real estate investment property.  If your contractor is injured, or if a construction default happens, you do not want to find out too late that your insurance company will not pay!

That is why it is important to know what kind of insurance you need before you begin any kind of home construction project.

What Is Subcontractor Insurance?

True to what it sounds like, subcontractor insurance is specialized insurance that will address specific worker concerns, such as a construction default. It will help when it comes to artisan contractors, such as plumbers or electricians, as well as general construction projects.

Beyond this, you also want to consider workers' compensation, which will help take care of any liabilities or claims should an injury or death occur while on your real estate investment property.

Why Do You NEED Subcontractor Insurance?

Quite simply, general liability insurance will not  cover many different claims associated with home construction, such as a workers' injury or a construction default.  As a real estate investor, you want to spend time engaging in what really matters, and by having the right kind of insurance, you can save considerable time and money!
