Also, even if the contractor has insurance, it is his/her policy, not yours. So, if an incident occurs, you cannot file a claim against the contractor's policy. Only the contractor could file a claim, if he chooses to do so. If the contractor disappears, you are out of luck, even if he had insurance.
This is what I got from them "
Yes, we do a lot of work for The VCDD, Commercial Property Management, etc. We are required to keep our insurance information up to date with them each year." I will have to find out if this applies to work on my property
