Our story

From the jobsite to the agency.

Josh Cotner worked in the trades, filed certificates, and saw firsthand what happened when coverage failed. He founded CCA in 2005 to do it right — specialty contractor insurance from people who actually understand the exposure.

2005

What we stand for

Four things we won't compromise on.

Trade-first expertise

Josh came from the trades before starting the agency. We understand your exposure from the inside — not from a product sheet.

Coverage that closes the gaps

Completed-operations tail, professional liability gaps, tools theft on jobsites — we address the risks standard markets leave open.

A-rated markets only

We shop carriers with the financial strength and contractor experience to pay claims — not just to write the policy.

Honest, direct advice

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