How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond ensures that contractors fulfill all obligations of their proposed work and follow the standards and regulations of the obligee (City of Ridgeland). Clients can file a claim for compensation if a contractor’s work is deemed faulty or insufficient. The surety initially pays out approved claims, but contractors are responsible for paying the claim back, up to the full bond amount.
ZipBonds offers many contractor bonds instantly for just $100.

When do I need to renew my bond?
