Carpenter Insurance in San Diego County
Carpenters in California carry GL, WC, and (if licensed under CSLB) a $25K license bond. TWT bundles them in one quote with same-day COIs.
Key Takeaways for Carpenters
- CSLB Requirements: Class C-5 Framing and Rough Carpentry or Class C-6 Cabinet, Millwork and Finish Carpentry contractors must maintain a $25,000 bond. SB 216 requires all C-5/C-6 contractors to carry Workers' Comp by 2028.
- Cost Expectations: Finish carpenters typically pay less than framing carpenters due to lower risk of falls and structural issues. A solo finish carpenter might pay $800 - $1,500 annually for GL.
- Same-Day COIs: We issue Certificates of Insurance (COIs) with Additional Insured endorsements the same day.
