Roofing Contractor Insurance in Texas
Texas roofing quotes should identify residential and commercial jobs, roof systems, tear-offs, heights and subcontracted crews. For coastal projects, coordinate the property’s windstorm inspection requirements separately from your contractor liability insurance.
Also for re-roofing, roof repair, and gutter/roofing combo crews.

What roofing contractor insurance costs in Texas
Send receipts, payroll, subcontractor costs, work locations, roof-type percentages and claims. Include hot-work methods and the largest jobs. A roof repair, full replacement and commercial installation should not be quoted as interchangeable operations.
| Coverage | Typical cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| General liability | Individual quote | Based on accepted operations, limits, deductibles, revenue, and claims. |
| Workers’ compensation | Individual quote | Review state requirements, entity structure, payroll, and work classifications. |
| Vehicles, tools, and other coverage | Separate review | Match each policy to owned or rented assets and customer requirements. |
No state-specific average premium is claimed here. Cohesive can request quotes after reviewing your operation. Coverage is subject to insurer acceptance and policy terms.

What's different about Texas
State resources checked . Confirm current requirements with the linked agencies.
Check the coastal windstorm inspection requirement for the property
TDI explains that construction and roof repairs in designated catastrophe areas need to meet its construction and inspection requirements to qualify for TWIA wind and hail insurance. This concerns the building’s eligibility; it is not a statewide roofing GL requirement.
Texas Department of Insurance: Windstorm Inspection Program →Arrange the inspection process before starting the job
TDI directs owners or builders to notify it before construction. Its inspectors inspect work in progress; appointed engineers have a separate path for completed construction. Confirm the appropriate process before covering up work and retain the resulting compliance documents.
Texas Department of Insurance: inspection process →A WPI-8 is different from your insurance certificate
The windstorm compliance document addresses the structure. Your own liability quote still needs review for open-roof water entry, hot work, heights and subcontractor conditions. Neither document automatically supplies the other’s protection.

Frequently asked questions
Is a WPI-8 my roofing liability insurance?
No. It is a windstorm compliance document for the property. Contractor liability coverage is a separate policy review.
Do coastal inspection rules apply to every Texas roof?
The cited program concerns designated areas and TWIA eligibility. Check the property address and project with TDI rather than applying it statewide.
Should I say no to torch work if I am unsure what a subcontractor uses?
No. Confirm the method with the crew. Unknown hazard information is a follow-up question, not a reason to provide an unsupported answer.
