More Than 40,000 Contractors Depend on Utica First Because We Put Them First

It’s hard to believe November is upon us. Fall is in full swing and small contractors—especially drywallers, handymen, and painters—are as busy as ever. It’s a great time for them to harvest seasonal business opportunities.

November is one of the busiest months of the year for home improvements as homeowners prepare for holiday entertaining. From kitchen renovations and repainting of one or more rooms to new flooring installations, small contractors will have their hands full and shouldn’t have to worry about the what-ifs inherent in the industry impacting their businesses. A Utica First artisan contractor policy can help.

Contractors face these risks each day, but can depend on Utica First—should an unforeseen loss occur—that their businesses and crews are protected.
