How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond protects clients from damages due to faulty contractor work. The bond ensures that contractors meet all applicable regulations and codes of the obligee (the Town of Needham). If a contractor fails to follow the bond agreement, any party that suffers damages can file a claim for compensation.
To obtain your contractor bond in Needham, you’ll pay a small percentage of the full bond amount (called a premium). ZipBonds can issue these bonds quickly – for as low as $100.
