How does a landscape contractors bond work?

A contractor license bond ensures that contractors fulfill all obligations to clients. By signing the bond, contractors agree to abide by the standards and regulations of the obligee (State of North Carolina). 

Clients can file a claim for damages if the contractor’s work isn’t completed sufficiently. If approved, the surety will initially cover the costs of the claim, but contractors are responsible for repaying the surety in full, up to the total bond amount.

To acquire your bond, you’ll pay a premium, a small percentage of the penal sum. ZipBonds can offer premiums starting at $100 and often issue these bonds instantly.
