# What Insurance Covers Faulty Workmanship?

Insurance rarely pays a contractor’s cost to redo faulty work; separate injury or property-damage claims may be covered under liability forms.

These are distinct losses, and a policy may exclude the rework while assessing resulting damage under another grant.

Compare builders-risk, CGL, and professional-liability wording with the work and alleged harm. Check faulty-work exclusions, exceptions, limits, and required endorsements.
