Our Sheet Metal Contractor Insurance Services

Comprehensive insurance solutions built around the unique exposures sheet metal contractors face on every job.

General Liability

Covers third-party bodily injury and property damage arising from your sheet metal operations, including on-site accidents, tool-related incidents, and contractor-caused structural damage claims.

Completed Operations

Protects your business against liability claims that emerge after a project is finished — including defects in installed sheet metal systems, ductwork failures, or post-handover property damage.

Construction Insurance

Project-specific and contractor program coverage including Builder's Risk, Tools & Equipment, Installation Floater, and Contractor Liability tailored for sheet metal trade operations.

Commercial Property

Covers your shop, fabrication equipment, raw sheet metal inventory, and business assets against fire, theft, vandalism, and other covered losses at your premises.

Commercial Auto

Insures trucks, vans, and service vehicles used to transport sheet metal materials, tools, and crews to job sites — including hired and non-owned auto exposures.

Risk Management Services

Soma's Risk Management Team analyzes your sheet metal contracting operations and structures a right-fit coverage program, replacing the slow back-and-forth of traditional brokers.

Contractor-Specific Coverage

General Liability Built for Sheet Metal Contractors

Sheet metal contracting sits at the intersection of fabrication, installation, and high-stakes job site activity — making standard general liability policies a poor fit. Soma works with specialty carriers including Chubb, Kinsale, and Liberty Mutual to place GL coverage that reflects your actual trade exposures: sharp-material handling, rooftop and elevated work, HVAC ductwork installation, and completed operations on commercial and residential projects. Whether you're a sole proprietor or a multi-crew operation, we get you insured fast with one application.
