What does GL cover for a roofer?
It covers third-party bodily injury, third-party property damage, and products/completed-operations claims. For example: a dropped tool or tear-off debris damages a customer's car or landscaping. It does not cover your own tools or vehicles, or employee injuries — those are covered by inland marine, commercial auto, and workers' comp.
How fast can a roofer get a Certificate of Insurance?

Is a certificate of insurance the same as being insured?
No — a COI is proof of an active policy, not the coverage itself. You need a bound GL policy first; then we issue certificates (including additional-insured endorsements) to whoever your contract requires.
