Why Your Maintenance Personnel Must Be Insured And Insured

You have finally decided to jump in and hire a handyman. Now the search for a reputable company in your area begins. You have several ways to find a handyman. While the internet provides a wealth of detailed information on local businesses, there is one place you should start. Any company you are thinking of hiring must be guaranteed and insured. This article will explain the importance of this and what it means for your relationship with the company.

Guaranteed
Being linked is both a way to protect you and the company. What this means is that your maintenance staff have access to state-backed funds in the rare and unfortunate event that they are needed for claims. If a business was directly responsible for an accident that resulted in extensive damage to a home or its contents, its legal responsibility to cover those costs could put the business down. They choose to maintain liability and surety insurance to stay protected from such scenarios.

When a company is linked, you have the peace of mind of knowing that any claim will be guaranteed. Once the claim has been successfully initiated, you will be reimbursed for loss or damage. This opens up more options for you, as smaller businesses and individuals can now market to you.

Insured
Any established company will have an insurance policy to protect itself from loss or damage due to acts of nature or any other catastrophic event. This is the same reason you keep car insurance. You know that if something happens to your vehicle, your insurance company will compensate you based on the plan you chose. A serious company is in business to prosper while protecting itself from the financial burden of potential accidents and recovery costs.

Under the insurance topic, it’s a bonus if your maintenance company also offers workers’ compensation insurance. It’s added protection for you and the company because if a worker is injured on your property, that worker will know your resulting medical bills and the company policy will reimburse you for the time off. The worker knows they are protected and will not go after them for costs.

Now that you know the importance of having your maintenance staff insured and insured, you can narrow down the market and find the right company for the job.
