BEST FOR
- Equipment less than five years old
- Equipment that travels to job sites

Professional liability insurance
Professional liability insurance covers legal costs when a roofing company is sued for a mistake or oversight. It's also called errors and omissions insurance (E&O).
BEST FOR
- Accusations of negligence
