\"Question\", \"name\": \"How much does insurance for a roofing business cost?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"For a business with 3 to 8 roofers and a revenue of $500,000 to $1.5 million: between $2,200 and $7,500 per year for a $2 million liability coverage. Businesses that primarily do hot or commercial roofing generally pay 25% to 50% more.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Does the RBQ require specific liability coverage for roofing?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"The RBQ requires general liability coverage of $2 million for any specialized contractor license, including the roofing subcategory. Some home insurance companies require <strong>$5 million for contractors they refer to their insureds following a claim.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Are hot works automatically covered?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"No \u2014 most policies exclude hot works by default. An <\/strong><strong>explicit endorsement mentioning torch-on roofing is required. Without this endorsement, a fire caused by a torch will be excluded.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"A membrane installed 2 years ago is leaking \u2014 am I responsible?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"If the leak is due to a <\/strong><strong>defect in workmanship (poorly welded seams, poorly secured edges), your completed operations liability may cover consequential damages (ceilings, floors, property). The <\/strong><strong>replacement of the membrane itself is generally excluded \u2014 at your expense.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Are my employees covered in case of a fall?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Employee injuries fall under the <\/strong><strong>CNESST, not your liability coverage. Make sure you have an up-to-date CNESST file.

Fixed scaffolding is covered as business equipment.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"A client refuses to pay and claims against me for non-compliant work \u2014 what should I do?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"A <\/strong><strong>contractual dispute is not covered by your liability insurance. Business legal protection (cost $400 to $800\/year) covers legal fees for this type of dispute. Your insurance broker can add it to your policy.\"}}, {\"@type\": \"Question\", \"name\": \"Can I work on commercial roofs over 15 m?\", \"acceptedAnswer\": {\"@type\": \"Answer\", \"text\": \"Yes, if your policy mentions <\/strong><strong>work at heights over 15 m.
