20% of Lakewood's B licensees hold more than one classification — most often C-10 Electrical Contractor (4%), C-36 Plumbing Contractor (3%). Extra classifications can change how carriers rate your general liability and workers' comp, so list every license class when you quote.
Business structure: 50% sole owners, 44% corporations, 5% LLCs; median time licensed 14.9 years.
For general contractors, underwriters focus first on: completed-operations and construction-defect claims; and contract requirements: additional insured, waiver of subrogation, primary and non-contributory. See the full coverage guide for general contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.
Asena Capital Insurance Services compares multiple markets for Lakewood contractors and requests additional insured endorsements for you when a contract calls for them. Call (858) 925-9555 or request a quote — only your name, phone and email are required. CA License #6008596.
