Pipeline Insurance Specialists Since 2005
We built pipelines before we insured them. That hands-on experience means we know exactly what your crews face — and what coverage they actually need.
"I built pipelines before I insured them."
Josh Cotner didn't start out behind a desk. He spent years working in the field as a contractor — laying pipe, managing crews, and understanding firsthand the risks that come with pipeline construction work.
That field experience became the foundation of Contractors Choice Agency, founded in 2005. Josh recognized that most insurance brokers had never set foot on a job site. They were guessing at coverage. He knew he could do better.
Today, Contractors Choice Agency serves 298+ pipeline and specialty trade contractors across all 50 states from our headquarters in Chandler, Arizona.
Our Mission
To provide pipeline contractors with the specialized insurance coverage that standard brokers can't place — at competitive rates, with fast turnarounds, and from a team that actually understands what happens when a pipeline crew goes to work.
