42% of Orange's C-33 licensees hold more than one classification — most often B General Building Contractor (33%), C-9 Drywall Contractor (8%). Extra classifications can change how carriers rate your general liability and workers' comp, so list every license class when you quote.

For painters, underwriters focus first on: overspray on vehicles, roofs and neighboring property; and lead-based paint work on pre-1978 homes (EPA RRP rules). See the full coverage guide for painting contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.
