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 what's at stake when a glulam beam fails and the manufacturer's GL carrier cites a products exclusion.
Contractors Choice Agency founded
Josh Cotner opens CCA in Chandler, AZ, after years working in the trades — built to insure contractors and manufacturers the right way.

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 manufacturing because we know what happens when coverage fails at claim time.
Coverage that closes the gaps
Products liability exclusions, kiln/press equipment gaps, and inland marine for oversized beams — we address the exposures standard markets miss.
A-rated markets only
We shop carriers with the financial strength and timber manufacturing experience to be there when a beam failure or kiln fire 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 operation actually requires.
