Protecting Carpenters in Lath & Plaster Support Work

As a lath and plaster support carpenter, you’re responsible for setting the foundation for finishes—meaning even small misalignments or damage could result in costly repairs.

Why This Coverage Matters in California

California’s seismic codes and aging buildings make lath and plaster restoration a critical task—often subject to rigorous oversight. One cracked plaster surface or poorly supported frame can lead to customer disputes or failed inspections.

Having proper insurance not only protects your business from liability and tool loss but also helps you secure more contracts by demonstrating professionalism and compliance with California licensing laws.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is insurance required for residential lath and plaster repair jobs?

It’s not legally required in every case, but most property owners and contractors won’t hire uninsured carpenters due to liability concerns.

Can I get covered for working on historic properties?

Yes. Our policies can be tailored to cover specialty work like heritage plaster support, including increased risk for older buildings.

What if I subcontract part of the job to another carpenter?

You’re still responsible. A well-structured policy will cover work performed under your business, including subcontractor actions if properly disclosed.
