Roofing is one of the most hazardous trades in the construction industry. With risks ranging from falls, equipment injuries, and extreme weather exposure, roofing contractors face unique challenges that demand comprehensive workers compensation insurance.

At Total Work Comp, we specialize in helping roofing contractors across the United States secure the right coverage at the best price. We work with multiple insurance carriers to tailor policies that protect your crew and your business.
⚠️ The Risks Roofing Contractors Face
Roofing work involves:
High elevation exposure: Falls from roofs or ladders are a leading cause of injury.
Heavy equipment use: Nail guns, compressors, and other tools can cause serious harm.
Weather-related hazards: Heatstroke, slippery surfaces, and wind-related accidents are common.
Material handling: Lifting and transporting shingles, tiles, and other materials can lead to strains or sprains.
These risks make roofing a high-risk classification in workers compensation underwriting, which is why having the right policy is critical.
🛡️ What Does Workers Compensation Insurance Cover?
A roofing contractor’s workers compensation policy typically includes:
Medical expenses for injured workers
Lost wages during recovery
Rehabilitation costs
Death benefits in case of fatal accidents
Legal protection against employee injury claims
Without proper coverage, a single accident could financially devastate your business.
