58% of Irvine's C-36 licensees hold more than one classification — most often B General Building Contractor (46%), C-10 Electrical Contractor (22%). Extra classifications can change how carriers rate your general liability and workers' comp, so list every license class when you quote.

For plumbers, underwriters focus first on: water damage from failed fittings, supply lines and water heaters; and mold claims that follow slow leaks. See the full coverage guide for plumbing contractors for limits, endorsements and workers' comp rules.
