CONTRACTORNERD
Your modern Agent for contractor insurance.
OUR MISSION
We’re on
a mission to save
you money.

Our mission is to be the insurance agent contractors trust to save them money and boost profits through smarter coverage.

WHY WE STARTED
FROM OUR FOUNDERS

Most agents work with a limited set of carriers and rely on outdated processes that create delays when contractors need speed. The result? Contractors either settle for coverage that doesn’t fit their needs or waste valuable time dealing with slow, manual processes.

We founded ContractorNerd because contractors deserve an agent who understands their business and has the tools to serve them properly.

We’ve built the insurance agent experience contractors actually want: access to more contractor-specialist carriers than traditional agents offer, delivered through technology that works as efficiently as contractors do. This isn’t about replacing the agent relationship—it’s about making that relationship more valuable through better tools and specialized expertise.

Our success is measured by how much time and frustration we save contractors while connecting them with better coverage options. We’re the insurance agent that works at the speed of your business.
