Overview
A Contractor's Bond gives your business solid credibility and offers peace of mind to your prospects and customers. This mutual protection is not only beneficial but is also required by law in many states.
What is Contractor's Bond?
A Contractor's Bond serves as a form of insurance that protects the customer in the case that the contractor fails to adequately complete the job or fails to cover permits or pay subcontractors as agreed.
The Basics of Contractor's Bond
A Contractor's Bond is typically set as a $15,000 protection to the customer. The cost of your premium will depend on your credit score, which will be verified with a soft check (will not affect credit rating). Your Contractor's Bond premium is set up in a bill-pay pattern and can extend to up to four years. Should a claim ever be filed, the customer would receive the approved amount in the form of a reimbursement.
