How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond protects clients from any damages resulting from faulty work by the contractor. The bond also guarantees the contractor meets applicable regulations and codes of the obligee (La Salle). If the contractor neglects any stipulations in the bond agreement, clients can file a claim on the bond to receive compensation for damages.
To obtain a contractor license bond in La Salle, Illinois, you will pay a premium, a small percentage of the bond amount. ZipBonds can issue contractor bonds quickly – often for just $100.

How do I avoid claims?
