About us

Road Paving Insurance is the paving-focused division of Contractors Choice Agency — founded in 2005 by Josh Cotner, who knows exactly what happens when a GL exclusion shows up in a DOT claim denial or a surety bond falls through the day before bid submission.

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 what's at stake when a milling machine is stolen, a flagging crew gets hurt on a highway, and the insurance carrier cites a coverage gap.

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

Coverage that closes the gaps

Wrong equipment values, missing inland marine, and bad WC class codes — we address the risks standard contractor markets miss.

A-rated markets only

We shop carriers with the financial strength and contractor experience to be there when a stolen paver, a highway fatality, or a bond call 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 paving operation actually requires.
