If you operate primarily in West Virginia, your policy should be written for that state. If you regularly work across state lines, you may need endorsements or multi-state coverage. NEXT Insurance can often cover multi-state operations under a single policy. Disclose all states where you operate when applying to avoid coverage gaps.

Question 7

What is NOT covered by a standard window cleaning insurance policy?

Accepted Answer

Standard general liability does not cover: employee injuries (requires workers' comp), vehicles (requires commercial auto), professional errors (requires E&O), cyber attacks (requires cyber liability), or intentional acts. Understanding these gaps is critical — many window cleaning businesses need 2–3 policies for complete protection. A Business Owners Policy (BOP) can bundle GL + commercial property at a discount.
