General contractor insurance in New Jersey typically ranges from $1,500 to $6,000 or more per year for general liability, depending on your payroll, revenue, trade type, and claims history. Builder's risk and equipment floaters add to that cost. High-risk trades or larger project values can push premiums higher. Soma's Risk Management Team shops your risk across multiple specialty carriers to find the most competitive rate for your specific operations.
