Why Your Video Doorbell Installation Contractor Must Be Bonded & Insured

The Protection Bonding & Insurance Provide

Hiring a video doorbell installation contractor who lacks proper bonding and insurance is one of the most dangerous financial decisions a homeowner can make. Without insurance, you bear full liability for any injuries that occur on your property during the project. Without bonding, you have no recourse if the contractor fails to complete the work or delivers substandard results. The small premium that bonded and insured contractors charge is trivial compared to the five-figure liability you could face from a single workplace injury.

General liability insurance protects you from property damage caused by the contractor during video doorbell installation work. If a worker accidentally damages your home or a neighbor's property, the contractor's insurance covers the repair — not your homeowners policy, which could raise your premiums or deny the claim entirely. Workers compensation ensures that injured workers are compensated through the contractor's policy rather than suing you directly for medical expenses and lost wages.
