Cabinet Installer Insurance
Hanging and fitting cabinetry means heavy boxes, wall anchoring, and precise work in finished kitchens and baths where one slip marks costly surfaces.
What this coverage is intended to address
- ✓General liability intended to respond to property damage such as gouged walls, scratched floors, or a dropped upper cabinet.
- ✓Third-party bodily injury protection intended to address a client struck by a falling cabinet or injured on the work site.
- ✓Completed-operations coverage generally intended to respond if a wall cabinet pulls away from its anchors after installation.
- ✓Tools and equipment (inland marine) intended to help replace levels, drills, and jigs if they are stolen or damaged.
Coverage products commonly considered
Most cabinet installer operations consider one or more of these coverage types:
Hypothetical claim scenarios
These are hypothetical examples only. Actual coverage depends on the policy form, exclusions, and carrier determination.
- Picture an upper cabinet slipping off the rail during a solo lift and crashing onto a new quartz counter; in the event of a covered claim, general liability is intended to respond.
- Suppose anchors fail months later and a loaded cabinet tears off the wall, damaging the backsplash — completed-operations coverage may help respond to the claim.
Frequently asked questions
Does this respond if a cabinet falls and damages a counter?
Accidental third-party property damage from a dropped or failed cabinet is generally intended to be addressed by general liability, in the event of a covered claim.
What about the cabinets I was hired to install?
General liability is intended to address damage to a client's other property, not the product you were contracted to install, which is generally handled separately.
