General liability insurance

General liability covers property damage and bodily injury during the project. Ask for a COI (Certificate of Insurance) listing your address as an additional insured location.

Written contract required

Oregon law requires a written contract for residential projects over $2,000. It must include the CCB number, scope of work, and payment schedule. Contract requirements →

Workers' compensation coverage

Contractors with employees in Oregon are required to carry workers' compensation insurance. If a worker is injured on your property without coverage, you may bear liability. Verify coverage status before work begins.

Homeowners typically compare multiple licensed contractors before starting a project.

Before you hire

Verify this contractor carries active general liability insurance and a current surety bond. Request a Certificate of Insurance (COI) listing your property before any work begins. Oregon contractors must maintain minimum coverage - an Active license does not guarantee current insurance.
