Contractor Insurance by Trade in Florida
Not all contractors face the same risks.
A roofer, an electrician, and a general contractor operate in completely different environments – but many end up with the same type of insurance.
That’s where problems start.
Lite Speed helps Florida contractors structure coverage based on their specific trade, risks, and operations.
Because the right insurance is not generic. It’s built for what you actually do.
Coverage Built for Your Type of Work
Every trade has different risks. Your insurance should reflect how you actually operate.
Insurance That Matches Your Trade — Not Just a Template
Most insurance policies are built using general assumptions. But contractors don’t work in general conditions. Each trade has:
- Different job site risks
- Different compliance requirements
- Different exposure to claims
- Different insurance needs
Lite Speed designs coverage based on your trade-specific reality, not a one-size-fits-all policy.

Why Trade-Specific Insurance Matters
Many contractors unknowingly operate with coverage that doesn’t match their work.
This can lead to:
- Coverage gaps
- Denied claims
- Compliance issues
- Financial exposure
That’s where most providers fall short.
For example:
- A roofer with incorrect classification
- A GC without proper subcontractor coverage
- An electrician with insufficient liability limits
Insurance must reflect:
- Your actual work
- Your risk level
- Your business structure
We Don’t Just Insure Trades
We Analyze Their Risks
Lite Speed approaches contractor insurance differently. We don’t just assign policies based on your trade. We analyze:
- How your business operates
- Your job types and project size
- Your use of subcontractors
- Your exposure to claims and audits
Then we structure coverage accordingly. This is what we call:
Contractor Risk Intelligence
What Your Contractor Insurance May Include
Depending on your trade, your coverage may include:
Workers’ Compensation Insurance
General Liability Insurance
Commercial Auto Insurance
Builder’s Risk Insurance
Umbrella / Excess Liability
The combination depends on your operations - not just your industry label.

Most Contractors Don’t Know They’re Exposed
— Renovation Crew LLC dba EcoRestore Roof & Exterior Cleaning
I had an excellent experience with Lite Speed Insurance. The licensed agent, Mike, was very helpful and made the whole process clear and simple. He took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I got the right coverage without any hassle. The whole team is professional, responsive, and truly cares about their clients. I highly recommend them.
— Renovation Crew LLC dba EcoRestore Roof & Exterior Cleaning
It really feels like a team doing what is needed while understanding our particular case.
We needed General Liability with additional insureds, waiver of subrogation, endorsements and many more specific requests and they made it simple for us in order to fulfill our clients requests.
Thank you all. Keep working like that.
Thank you, again!
