Contractor’s Bond for Construction

A contractor’s bond ( or surety bond ) for construction is protection for your customers. It is a financial guarantee that you will complete the job you’ve undertaken in a satisfactory manner. If you fail to complete the job as per your client’s expectations or there is damage to the client’s property as a result of your work, for example, the bond issuing company will financially compensate your client. Clients are more apt to work with you if they know that their financial interests will be protected in the event that problems occur during the project. Surety bonds that are issued to contractors can include those that cover bids, performance, and payments as well as supply and maintenance.

Most states require you to have contractor license bonding in order to legally operate a business. Before breaking ground on any project, you need to make sure that you have all of the necessary building permits and have met all of the bond requirements for the state of California. The state of California requires that all contractors have an active $12,500 license bond on file with the Contractors State License Board ( CSLC) or a bond alternative as a condition of having an active license.
