How does a contractor license bond work?
Whether required by law or not, surety bonds benefit contractors and the public.
A contractor license bond is a contract a contractor signs agreeing to act professionally and ethically, meet industry standards, and follow safety procedures. The bond ensures that contractors finish projects on time and to code. If they don’t, someone may file a claim against their bond. The surety will cover settlement costs upfront, and the contractor must repay them in full.
Clients often feel more confident in their contractors when they’re bonded and insured. Many clients seeking contractors for large-scale and private projects will require surety bonds even if the state or local municipality does not. Bonds for construction-related purposes in Florida often range from $1,000 to $20,000.
