Insurance Coverage
General Liability Insurance
Fully Licensed & Insured — $2M General Liability
Our $2 million general liability policy protects you against property damage and bodily injury that may occur during construction. This coverage is active on every project we take on.
Workers' Compensation
All crew members are covered by workers' compensation insurance. This protects you from liability if a worker is injured on your property — a critical protection many unlicensed contractors don't carry.
Why This Matters for Homeowners
In New Jersey, it's illegal for a contractor to perform home improvement work without a valid HIC license. But many unlicensed contractors still operate — and homeowners often don't find out until something goes wrong.
When you hire an unlicensed contractor, you have no legal recourse through the NJ Contractors' Guarantee Fund. You may not be covered by their insurance (if they even have it). And if they skip permits, you could face fines, failed inspections, or problems when selling your home.
The5thwall is fully licensed, insured, and compliant. We pull all required permits, schedule all inspections, and carry comprehensive insurance on every project. Your investment is protected from day one.
