BENEFITRA

Six topics. 28 pages. Built for your next renewal.

01

Coverage Deep Dives

WC, GL, commercial auto, equipment, umbrella — what each does, what each doesn't, and the typical roofer gaps.

02

EMR Playbook

How your Experience Mod actually works, who controls it, what you can move mid-year, and what only changes at renewal.

03

State-by-State Spotlight

Quick reference for Florida, Texas, California, New York, Massachusetts. Bureau differences, non-subscription rules, and rate spread.

04

Subcontractor Risk

70% of contractor COIs are non-compliant. What to verify before hiring, what your contracts should include, and the red flags.

05

Storm Season Prep

How seasonal contractors get burned at renewal. Audit-period traps. What to document during a busy storm month.

06

10-Point Self-Audit

Print this. Walk it once a year. If you check more than 7 of 10, you're already ahead of 80% of your competition.

“Benefitra cut our workers’ comp rate by almost 50%. The savings paid for our entire safety program — and then some.”
Arturo Nieto · Owner, Art Slate Roofing · Greater Boston

The guide is the audit. The call is the next step.

If the survival guide surfaces gaps you want to close, the 30-minute assessment is where we map out the actual placement strategy. Benefitra and its partners hold appointments across 19 carrier markets including roofer-direct programs. No long-term contract. No email gate, no spam sequence — you get the PDF whether or not you ever talk to us.
