Risks specific to the exterior siding installer trade

Risk profile of the profession

The installation of exterior cladding is done at height and the waterproofing of the building depends on it: a defect in installation can cause costly water infiltration.

Compliance and licensing

Most construction work in Quebec requires a license from the Régie du bâtiment (RBQ). The licence attests to your competence; Insurance protects your finances in the event of damage. Your customers will demand proof of both.

One comprehensive policy

Most businesses like yours bundle liability, tools, equipment, vehicles and property into a single comprehensive commercial policy — often better and simpler than separate policies.

Frequently asked questions

Am I responsible for water infiltration behind a coating I have installed?
If the infiltration is the result of an installation defect, the Completed Work Warranty covers the resulting damage.
Does working at height increase my insurance premium?
Yes, it is a risk factor assessed by insurers. Comparing insurers specializing in construction allows you to obtain an adapted price.
How much does insurance cost for an exterior siding company in Quebec?
The premium varies depending on your sales, the number of employees, your specific activities, your claims history and the limits chosen. As an indication, the civil liability of a small contractor is often between $500 and $1,800 per year, but the exact premium is established after analyzing your file. Comparing several insurers remains the best way to get a fair price.
What insurance is needed for an exterior siding installer in Quebec?
The law does not impose civil liability on all companies, but your clients, clients and the Régie du bâtiment almost always require it. If you have employees, registration with the CNESST is mandatory.
Does my home insurance cover my business if I’m self-employed?
No. A home insurance policy excludes commercial activities. You need separate business insurance to cover your liability, tools, and professional equipment.
Am I covered if one of my employees is injured on a construction site?
Employees’ occupational injuries are covered by the CNESST’s public plan, to which you must contribute. Instead, your business insurance covers your liability to third parties as well as your property.
Are my tools covered if they are stolen from my truck?
