FAQs — Framing Insurance Tampa FL
Frequently Asked Questions
What GL limits do commercial GCs require from framing subcontractors?
Most Tampa commercial GCs require $1M/$2M minimum. Some require higher limits for multi-story projects. FishHawk Insurance Center reviews your subcontracts to ensure your limits meet requirements.
What workers' comp class code applies to framing contractors?
Framing contractors typically work under class code 5645 (carpentry — residential) or 5403 (carpentry — NOC). The distinction affects your premium. FishHawk Insurance Center applies the correct class codes for your operations.
Does my GL cover structural defects found after project completion?
Yes, if your policy includes completed operations coverage — standard in properly written framing GL policies. FishHawk Insurance Center verifies this coverage for every framing contractor client.
Are lumber and materials at my job sites covered?
Not under GL or commercial auto. Materials staged at job sites need inland marine coverage. FishHawk Insurance Center includes materials coverage review for every framing contractor quote.
