Coverage types Ohio contractors commonly explore

Every contractor's risk profile is different. The lines below are among the most common — your agent will help identify what applies to your specific trade and operation.

GL

General Liability

Addresses third-party bodily injury and property damage claims arising from your operations, products, or completed work.

CA

Commercial Auto

Vehicles used for work — from a single pickup to a full fleet — typically require commercial coverage separate from personal auto.

UM

Umbrella / Excess Liability

An additional layer of liability protection above your underlying policies — commonly explored by contractors with larger projects or fleet exposure.

CY

Cyber Liability

Contractors increasingly rely on digital tools and stored client data — cyber coverage addresses risks from data breaches and network incidents.

BR

Builders Risk

Covers structures under construction against physical damage before a project is complete and handed over to the owner.

CT

Common questions about contractors insurance in Ohio

Answers to questions we hear frequently from Ohio contractors shopping for coverage.

Do I need general liability insurance as a sole proprietor contractor in Ohio?

Many sole proprietors and single-member LLCs in Ohio choose to carry general liability coverage even when not legally required, because general contractors, property owners, and job sites frequently require a certificate of insurance before allowing work to begin.

What is a certificate of insurance and why do general contractors require it?

A certificate of insurance (COI) is a document that summarizes your coverage — carrier, policy number, limits, and effective dates. Sycamore Insurance Services offers a certificate program to help contractors manage ongoing COI requests efficiently.

Is workers compensation handled differently in Ohio than other states?

Yes. Ohio is a monopolistic workers compensation state, meaning most employers must obtain workers compensation coverage directly through the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation (BWC) rather than through a private carrier.

Do you quote outside of Columbus?

Yes, we serve contractors all across Ohio.
