Contractor Insurance

General Liability, Workers

Contractor Insurance in Oregon Coast

Oregon's Construction Contractors Board (CCB) requires all licensed contractors to carry general liability insurance, and most project owners and general contractors require proof of coverage before work begins. Beyond the CCB minimum, workers' compensation is required for any contractor with employees, and commercial auto is essential for vehicles used on the job.

Gerald Ross Agency has been protecting Oregon Coast contractors since 1937 — from general contractors and electricians to plumbers, roofers, and landscapers. Our independent agents work with carriers who specialize in contractor coverage, helping you find competitive rates on the full range of protections your business needs.

What insurance does an Oregon contractor need?
Oregon CCB-licensed contractors need general liability and workers' compensation. Commercial auto, tools & equipment, and builders risk are also important depending on your work.
