Why Oregon Construction Companies Choose Gerald Ross Agency

Workers' Comp Experience Modification

Your workers' comp experience modification (e-mod) significantly affects your premium. A high e-mod can make your business uncompetitive on bids. Gerald Ross Agency can help you understand your e-mod, implement safety programs to reduce it, and find carriers that offer competitive rates for your risk profile.

Wrap-Up Insurance for Large Projects

Large construction projects often use wrap-up insurance (OCIP or CCIP) that covers all contractors on a project under a single policy. Gerald Ross Agency can help you understand wrap-up insurance requirements and ensure your company is properly covered when working on wrap-up projects.

Subcontractor Insurance Requirements

Construction companies are responsible for ensuring their subcontractors are properly insured. Gerald Ross Agency can help you set up certificate of insurance requirements, track subcontractor certificates, and ensure you're protected from uninsured subcontractor claims.

Oregon Coast Construction Growth

Oregon Coast's construction market is experiencing significant growth. Gerald Ross Agency has been serving local construction companies through multiple growth cycles and understands the unique insurance needs of Oregon construction businesses.

Construction Company Insurance Oregon — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about insurance for Oregon construction companies

What insurance does an Oregon construction company need?
Oregon construction companies typically need general liability, workers' compensation, commercial auto, builder's risk, tools and equipment coverage, and contractor bonds. The specific coverages depend on your company size, trade, and contract requirements.
How does workers' comp experience modification affect my insurance costs?
Your e-mod is a multiplier applied to your workers' comp premium based on your claims history. An e-mod above 1.0 increases your premium; below 1.0 decreases it. Implementing safety programs and reducing claims can improve your e-mod and lower your costs.
What is the difference between a performance bond and a payment bond?
A performance bond guarantees you'll complete the project as contracted. A payment bond guarantees you'll pay your subcontractors and suppliers. Both are commonly required on public construction projects in Oregon.
How much does construction company insurance cost in Oregon?
Costs vary widely based on your company size, trade, annual revenue, and claims history. Contact Gerald Ross Agency at (541) 469-3144 for a free construction insurance quote.
Does construction insurance cover equipment theft from a job site?
Equipment and tools coverage (inland marine) covers theft of your equipment and tools from job sites. This is separate from your general liability policy and is strongly recommended for construction companies.
