Common Questions
What insurance does a California flooring contractor usually need?
A flooring contractor commonly reviews general liability, workers compensation, commercial auto, tools and equipment, inland marine, umbrella, and certificate requirements.
What is the difference between C-15 and C-54 contractor insurance?
C-15 generally relates to flooring, while C-54 relates to tile. Insurance review should match the actual licensed operations, payroll, subcontractor use, and contracts.

California employers generally need workers compensation when they have employees. Owner/officer rules and payroll details should be reviewed.
Can WHINS review additional insured and waiver requests?
