About us

Built by a contractor, for engineered-wood operators.

Glulam Insurance is the engineered-wood-focused division of Contractors Choice Agency — an Arizona agency founded in 2005 by Josh Cotner, a former contractor who got tired of watching glulam fabricators and mass-timber contractors buy insurance that didn't actually protect the parts of their work that mattered most.

Our story

From the jobsite to the agency.

Josh Cotner worked in the trades before he ever sold a policy. That background is why Contractors Choice Agency does things differently — and why Glulam Insurance exists to fix the coverage gaps engineered-wood operators hit every day.

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 your language because we've done the work — and we understand a laminating press and a connection detail.

Coverage that actually pays

We close the gaps — plant equipment, structural product liability, adhesive pollution, oversize hauling — that generic policies leave open.

A-rated specialty markets

We shop carriers with the financial strength and the engineered-wood expertise to be there when a serious 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 with you — and by building coordinated programs that cost less.
