The Artisan Program is intended to cover the liability exposures of small contractors. It is versatile enough to cover not only the liability exposures associated with contractors but also the property exposures as well. The program is easy to rate and is based upon full time and part time employees.

It can include loss to the contractor’s tools off premises as well as on premises and includes $5,000 for Care, Custody and Control coverage. The program applies to forty job descriptions including carpenters, plumbers, electricians as well as the more hazardous class of roofers.
