Licensed and Insured Marine Contractor Requirements

We’ve all heard the horror stories—unqualified individuals claiming to be licensed and insured marine contractors, only for homeowners to discover too late that these claims were false. Hiring contractors without proper licensing and liability insurance can leave you legally and financially responsible for accidents or issues that arise during the project.


Protect yourself by knowing what to look for and asking the right questions before hiring anyone for your repairs or construction. As a homeowner, it’s your right to request valid proof of the following credentials.


What You Need to Know About General Contractors:

✔ State Licensing – Contractors must be licensed by the state to perform work legally.
✔ General Liability Insurance – Ensures coverage for damage to your property.
✔ Workers’ Compensation Insurance – Protects workers in case of injury and shields you from liability.

What You Need to Know About Marine Contractors:
✔ All General Contractor Requirements – Marine contractors must also meet the licensing and insurance standards listed above.
✔ Federal Jones Act Insurance – Required if the contractor uses a barge, pontoon, or other vessels for construction projects.
✔ USL&H Insurance (Longshore & Harbor Workers’ Compensation) – Protects workers engaged in maritime projects. Without this, you, the homeowner, could be held legally responsible for any injuries that occur.
Don’t take chances with your property or peace of mind. Always verify a contractor’s credentials and ask for proof of compliance with these essential requirements.
