WHAT WE CARRY
California Coast Plumbers’ Insurance & Bonding Coverage
These are our actual coverage lines — not generic industry minimums. Request a current Certificate of Insurance for policy numbers and exact effective dates.
PRIMARY COVERAGE
$1M / $2M
General Liability
$1,000,000 per occurrence, $2,000,000 aggregate. Covers bodily injury and property damage on your premises. Meets or exceeds the requirements of major property management firms, REITs, and commercial landlords.
STATUTORY COVERAGE
Full
Workers’ Compensation
Full statutory workers' compensation coverage for every employee on every job site. Eliminates property owner liability for on-site injuries. Certificate available on request.
VEHICLE COVERAGE
$1M
Commercial Auto
$1,000,000 commercial auto liability covering all company vehicles. Our fleet operates on your property — this coverage protects you from vehicle-related incidents in your parking structure, loading dock, or campus.
EXCESS COVERAGE
$2M
Umbrella / Excess
$2,000,000 umbrella policy providing additional coverage above all primary policies. Required by most Class-A property management firms and institutional landlords.

ADDITIONAL INSURED CAPABILITY
We Can Add Your Entity as Additional Insured
What It Is
An additional insured endorsement adds your company, property ownership entity, or management firm to our general liability policy. It provides your entity with direct coverage rights under our GL policy for claims arising from our work at your property.
Why It Matters
A Certificate of Insurance alone does not give you coverage rights. A COI is a snapshot of our insurance status — it confirms that coverage exists. Only an endorsement, issued by our carrier and attached to our policy, creates a contractual coverage extension to your entity. Most institutional property management firms and commercial landlords require this as a condition of vendor approval.
How We Handle It
When you request additional insured, we submit the endorsement to our carrier with your entity’s legal name and the property address(es) where coverage applies. The endorsement is issued as a policy amendment and sent directly to you. Typical turnaround: 1–2 business days.
What We Need From You
- The legal name of the entity to be listed as additional insured
- The property address(es) where coverage applies
- Any specific endorsement form requirements (e.g., CG 20 10, CG 20 37) if your risk management team requires a particular ISO form
If you’re not sure which form your organization requires, we’ll work with your team to determine the correct endorsement.
