Handyman Insurance
Liability coverage built and priced for handyman work, from TV mounts and drywall patches to small home repairs.
Backed by industry leaders
Why do handymen need insurance?
Your day might include a shelf, a door, a drywall patch, and a furniture build, all in someone else's home. When something gets damaged or someone gets hurt, Commercial General Liability is the policy that answers.
It can cover the claim and the legal defense. That's why property managers, landlords, and many homeowners want your certificate on file before you start.

What other coverages do handymen need?
Errors & Omissions
For the design, spec, and consulting side of your work: claims of financial loss caused by the advice or service you provided. With Foxquilt, you can hold CGL and E&O together.
See E&O Coverage →Can cover your own gear: the drills, saws, ladders, and the supplies in your vehicle. CGL only covers other people's property, so this is the other half of the pair.
Learn More→Can cover the truck or van you drive to every job. Your personal auto policy very likely excludes business use.
Learn More→Can cover medical care and lost wages when an employee or helper is hurt on the job, like a fall from a ladder or a cut from a saw. Required in most U.S. states the moment you hire your first employee.
Learn More→Can cover a breach of customer data, a ransomware lock-out on your booking app, or a deposit wired to a fraudster.
Learn More→It depends on the jobs you take on, your revenue, and where you work. The quote you see online is the real price, not an estimate we revise later.
Work that needs a trade license or trade-specific knowledge, like electrical, plumbing, or HVAC, isn't eligible under a handyman class. If you're licensed in one of those trades, add it as its own profession when you apply.
Depending on where your business is located and the work that you do, coverage limits available to you range from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000.
Your first COI is emailed the moment your payment clears. After that you can issue a new one yourself - including naming an additional insured - in about a minute, as many times as you need, at no charge.
Yes, and we don't charge for it. Add them during the application or any time after, then download the certificate showing them named.
Yep. Add each profession during the application and assign a rough percentage of your work to each. We rate the blend, so a handyman who mostly assembles furniture isn't priced as though every job were a drywall repair.
Usually, yes. A homeowner's policy won't respond to a business claim, and a solo handyman faces the same damage and injury claims a larger crew does. Many property managers and landlords require it in writing before you start.
Yes. Pay the annual premium up front, or spread it across monthly instalments at checkout. Either way coverage starts as soon as the first payment is confirmed.
What real small business owners say after choosing Foxquilt.
The process was smooth and simple. In addition to that, they offered the best coverage out of all of the other companies I researched.
I've been a client at Foxquilt for the past year, having switched my business insurance over because of their affordable rates and seamless service. I recently had to file a claim and couldn't be more pleased with the care and service that Nick offered in the process. Thanks to him, things got resolved quickly and easily. Happy to have landed at Foxquilt.
