How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond protects clients from damages due to insufficient contractor work. The bond ensures that contractors will meet all applicable regulations and codes of the obligee (the City of New Bedford). If a contractor fails to follow the bond agreement in any way, clients can file a claim to receive compensation.
To obtain your contractor bond in New Bedford, you’ll pay a premium (a small percentage of the full bond amount). ZipBonds can often issue bonds quickly – at a typical rate of $100.
