Our story

From the jobsite to the agency.

Josh Cotner worked in the trades, read contracts, and filed certificates before founding CCA in 2005. That background is why we understand what's at stake when a completed-operations defect claim arrives or a CPL exclusion denies a lead-paint exposure case.

What we stand for

Four things we won't compromise on.

Contractor-first, always

Josh spent years in the trades before starting the agency. We speak the language of residential remodeling because we know what happens when coverage fails at claim time.

Coverage that closes the gaps

Completed-operations tail, CPL for lead and asbestos, tools theft on jobsites — we address the risks standard markets miss.

A-rated markets only

We shop carriers with the financial strength and contractor experience to be there when a completed-ops claim, a lead-exposure lawsuit, or a tool theft hits.

Honest, no-pressure advice

If you don't need a line of coverage, we'll tell you. We earn trust by being straight about what your remodeling business actually requires.
