Our story

From the jobsite to the agency.

Josh Cotner ran equipment, read contracts, and filed certificates before founding CCA in 2005. That background is why we understand what's at stake when a design error, a missed milestone, or a contract dispute triggers a professional liability claim.

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

Coverage that closes the gaps

Professional services exclusions, design errors, and contract disputes — we address the risks standard business markets miss.

A-rated markets only

We shop carriers with the financial strength and professional-liability experience to be there when an E&O claim, a design dispute, or a contract lawsuit 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 contracting firm actually requires.
