Subcontractor FAQ.

Can I work for other property preservation companies if I sign up with Edgemark?

Yes. There is nothing in Edgemark’s contract that prohibits a contractor from working for other companies. Although we would love to be the only work provider for all our contractors, we understand the need to diversify, and everyone is in business to make money. If we can only offer you a handful of work orders a week in your area and you can handle a lot more, feel free to pick up work from others.

What are the insurance requirements to become a contractor?

Liability coverage is required. All 1099 contractors must carry $1 million general liability and $1 million errors and omissions insurance from Brunswick Companies, York-Jersey or Leonard Insurance. All three carriers offer coverage designed specifically for preservation activities. Edgemark Solutions, LLC must be added as an additional insured on the policy.

If this is your first time getting this coverage, the amount may sound high, but it is a standard amount for individuals and small businesses and the premiums are affordable.
