I've had a series of unfortunate matters over the past 2 years and they've helped me every step of the way. Stephanie is my usual point of contact. She is encouraging, caring and extremely informative. She always gets me the answers I need. Whatever help I need, she is always willing to provide support and instruction. Most importantly, she cares. She often just asks how things are going and provides warm customer service.

  • I have been with Paul T. Murphy insurance for years. I have recommended several friends and family members who are very happy with this company. We have our home ins., Liability ins., commercial vehicle coverage and also our personal auto coverage. Just recently my husband was involved in an accident and I was getting no where with the insurance carrier so I called Greg. He did everything he could for us. In the end it worked out due to him and all his hard work. I have also worked with Brian and Du on numerous occasions. They have always worked so hard at getting us the best insurance coverage for a best rate. The customer service there is a 5 star!

Do Painters Who Drive Personal Vehicles for Work Need Commercial Vehicle Coverage?

In situations where a personally registered vehicle is driven for both personal and work use, whether commercial vehicle coverage is necessary depends on the exact way the vehicle is used and the precise language of the owner’s insurance policy. Painters who drive their personal vehicles for work purposes should seek the expertise of a knowledgeable insurance agent to determine whether they need commercial vehicle coverage or are sufficiently protected with their personal auto policy.

What is a Certificate of Insurance?

When a homeowner or business wants to make sure a painter is insured prior to hiring them, the potential customer might ask to see a certificate of insurance. This is an official document that normally serves as evidence that a business has insurance. Insurance companies typically issue a certificate when a policy is purchased, and an insurance agent can help obtain another copy if an additional one is required.
