Handyman work-class checklist
Record the jobs, heights, trades and subcontractors that shape the review.
Short answer
Start with the operation, then discuss the policy
The handyman work-class checklist keeps preparation questions on this device. It does not transmit answers, score a risk or recommend a carrier.
This checklist helps independent handymen and small repair businesses organize the facts a licensed producer needs to understand. The goal is to explain work classes clearly and avoid surprises at certificate time.
Coverage names are only a starting point. Forms, endorsements, exclusions, limits and carrier appetite vary. The issued policy controls.
