How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond protects clients from damages due to faulty contractor work. The bond guarantees that contractors will meet all applicable regulations and codes of the obligee (the City of Salem). If the contractor fails to follow the bond agreement in their work, clients can file a claim and receive compensation for their losses.
You’ll pay a small premium to obtain your contractor bond in Salem. ZipBonds can often issue these bonds quickly, at a typical premium of $100.
