Our General Contractor Insurance Services

Comprehensive insurance solutions tailored for Pennsylvania general contractors, from liability to project-specific coverage.

General Liability

Protects your contracting business against third-party bodily injury and property damage claims arising from construction operations, helping you meet contract and lender requirements across Pennsylvania job sites.

Builder's Risk

Covers structures under construction from foundation to completion, protecting against fire, theft, vandalism, and weather damage — critical for Pennsylvania projects exposed to harsh winters and variable weather.

Commercial Auto

Insures your work trucks, vans, and fleet vehicles used to transport crews and materials across Pennsylvania job sites, covering liability and physical damage under a consolidated commercial auto policy.

Tools & Equipment

Inland marine coverage for owned and rented machinery, power tools, and construction equipment — protecting your valuable assets whether on-site, in transit, or stored at a Pennsylvania yard.

Completed Operations

Provides ongoing protection against defect claims and bodily injury or property damage that arise long after a Pennsylvania construction project is handed over to the owner.

Wrap-Up Insurance (OCIP/CCIP)

Consolidated project insurance programs for large-scale Pennsylvania developments, bringing all contractors and subcontractors under a single coordinated policy to satisfy complex owner and lender requirements.

Contract-Ready Coverage

Complete Insurance Coverage Built for PA Contractors

Pennsylvania general contractors face unique exposures — from strict PA Department of Labor & Industry compliance requirements to the structural demands of the Appalachian terrain and Northeast winters. Soma works with top-rated carriers like Chubb, Liberty Mutual, and Kinsale to build insurance programs that satisfy owner, lender, and subcontract requirements while keeping your premiums competitive. One application. Fast quotes. Coverage that actually fits your operations.
