Comparing Tampa insurance quotes

Your Tampa quote should reflect the work and customer requirements you actually take on. Include janitorial contracts, house cleaning, floor stripping or waxing, and any window work. Identify the customer property your crew actually handles and distinguish routine cleaning from mold, biohazard or disaster cleanup.
Use the same gross receipts, employee payroll, subcontractor costs, claims and requested limits for each proposal. Compare accepted operations, exclusions, deductibles, fees and payment terms as well as price. Identify any estimates or unknowns before choosing coverage.

Coverage questions for your work
Ask about the surface being cleaned, other property, property in your care and chemical damage. Review actual exclusions, endorsements and sublimits; general liability is not a blanket promise to pay for every cleaning mistake.
Discuss missing keys, access credentials and theft allegations separately from accidental damage. Review any crime coverage or janitorial bond, including its conditions and the people it covers.
List employees and other cleaning businesses separately. Review worker coverage, subcontractor conditions, equipment and business vehicle use against the work and contract.

Use the actual Tampa customer contract as your checklist
The City of Tampa publishes an insurance exhibit for agreements that incorporate it. It addresses liability, vehicles, workers’ compensation, additional insured status and evidence before work begins. Those are requirements of the covered City agreement, not a minimum package for every cleaner in Tampa. Send the complete exhibit and contract value for review; a certificate alone does not change policy terms.
City of Tampa: insurance requirements for its agreements →Airport vendor requirements are a separate contract review
Tampa International Airport says supplier insurance is determined by the risk of the work and publishes certificate guidance. If your cleaning customer is the airport authority, use its requirements rather than another building manager’s checklist. The fact that a policy satisfies one customer does not establish acceptance by another.
Tampa International Airport: insurance for suppliers →Walk through a floor-care loss before choosing a policy
Example to discuss: a cleaning product damages the floor you were hired to treat, and liquid also reaches an adjoining tenant’s space. Ask separately about the work surface, other property, chemical exclusions and any deductible or sublimit. Describe the product and method; the presence of a property-damage limit does not answer those questions.
