Our story

From the jobsite to the agency.

Josh Cotner ran equipment, read specs, and filed certificates before founding CCA in 2005. That background is why we understand remodeling operations, the lead and asbestos exposure in older homes, and what happens when a GL policy doesn't have the completed-ops tail a remodeler actually needs.

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 remodeling because we know what happens when coverage fails at claim time.

Coverage that closes the gaps

Completed-ops exclusions, lead and asbestos CPL gaps, and tools left uninsured — we address the risks standard contractor markets miss for remodelers.

A-rated markets only

We shop carriers with the financial strength and contractor experience to be there when a completed-ops claim, a crew injury, or a CPL claim 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.
