Don't get bitten by an uninsured sub.

Send us your sub list. In 48 hours you'll know which subs have workers' comp, which are exempt, and which could end up on your audit bill.

No login, no software, no cost. Checked against state coverage records, and reviewed by a person.

Scary good at certificates.
Monty, the CertMonster mascot

One missing certificate can cost you more than the job.

When a sub has no comp, the bill doesn't disappear. It often lands on the contractor who hired them.

💸

Audit surprises

Your premium audit can add an uninsured sub's payroll to your own bill, months after the job is done.

🩹

Injuries on your job

In many states, if a sub's worker is hurt and the sub has no comp, the claim can come back to you.

📎

Certificates lie

A PDF can be old, edited or cancelled the week after you got it. Exemptions expire too, and they don't cover employees.

How it works

Three steps, and the first report is free.

Send your sub list

A spreadsheet, a photo of a handwritten list, or just names. Add certificates if you have them. We'll ask your subs for the rest, from you.

Monty checks everything

We read every certificate and check it against your state's proof of coverage and exemption records. A person on our team reviews every report.

Get one simple report

Each sub is marked covered, exempt, expiring or missing. We watch the dates and tell you before anything lapses.

A report you can read in ten seconds.

No dashboards to learn. Just a clear answer for every sub on your job.

  • Checked against state records, not just the PDF the sub sent
  • Flags officer exemptions that don't cover the sub's employees
  • Reminders before a policy expires, not after
  • Your subs get a polite request from you, so you stop chasing paper

Audit time? Hand over the packet.

When your premium auditor asks for proof that your subs were insured, we put it all in one place.

  • Every sub you paid, with the insurer, policy number and dates
  • Where each fact came from: the certificate, plus a dated check of the state's records
  • Gaps flagged before the auditor finds them, with what you paid during each gap
  • One PDF with every certificate attached, reviewed by a person

Your auditor decides what proof to accept. The packet makes it easy for them to say yes.

Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. The sub check and the ongoing reminders cost nothing. We're a licensed insurance agency, and some subs who need coverage choose to buy it from us. That's how we pay for it.

Will you try to sell me insurance?

No. We don't quote your own policies unless you ask. We only offer quotes to subs who are missing coverage or coming up for renewal.

How do you know a certificate is real?

We don't trust the PDF alone. We check each sub against the state's proof of coverage and exemption records, and a person on our team reviews every report before it goes out.

What do my subs see?

A short text or email that says you asked for their certificate, with a simple way to send it. If they're missing coverage, they can request a quote. Nobody gets pushed.

Will this help me at my premium audit?

Yes. We build an audit packet listing every sub you paid, their insurer, policy number and dates, and where we confirmed it: the certificate plus a dated check of the state's records. Gaps are flagged with what you paid during them, so nothing surprises you. Your insurance company's auditor still decides what proof to accept.

What about my data?

Your sub list is used to run your report and reminders. We don't sell it or share it with other contractors.
