How does a contractor license bond work?
A contractor license bond holds contractors accountable for fulfilling obligations to clients. By signing the bond, contractors agree to abide by the standards and regulations of the obligee (Gaston County).
Clients can file a claim for damages if a contractor’s work fails to meet any part of the bond agreement. The surety initially pays out approved claims, but contractors must ultimately pay back these claims in full, up to the total bond amount.
To acquire your bond, you will pay a premium. ZipBonds can issue these bonds instantly, with premiums starting at $100.
