Insulation contractors face unique risks on the job—from exposure to hazardous materials to working in confined spaces and elevated areas. That’s why having the right Workers Compensation Insurance (also known as a Work Comp Policy) isn’t just smart—it’s essential.

At Total Work Comp, we specialize in helping insulation contractors across the U.S. find affordable, comprehensive coverage that meets state requirements and protects both employees and business owners.

🔍 Key Coverage Considerations

Here are some critical factors insulation contractors should keep in mind when shopping for workers comp insurance:

State Compliance: Each state has its own rules for workers comp. We help you navigate these regulations to ensure full compliance.
Classification Accuracy: Insulation work may fall under different class codes depending on the scope (e.g., residential vs. commercial). Accurate classification helps avoid overpaying.
Subcontractor Coverage: If you hire subcontractors, make sure your policy addresses liability and coverage gaps.
Claims Support: Fast and fair claims handling is crucial. We file claims on your behalf and provide dedicated support throughout the process.

💡 Cost-Saving Tips

Want to reduce your workers comp premiums? Try these strategies:

Implement Safety Programs: A strong safety culture can lower your experience modification rate (EMR), which directly impacts your premium.
Annual Policy Reviews: We offer yearly evaluations to ensure your coverage still fits your business operations.
Bundle with Other Policies: Through our parent company, Wexford Insurance, you may qualify for multi-policy discounts.
