How does a contractor license bond work?

A contractor license bond guarantees clients that their contractor will fulfill all work obligations. By signing the bond, contractors agree to abide by all the standards and regulations of the obligee (City of Cleveland Heights). 

Clients can file a claim for damages if a contractor fails to work according to the agreement. The surety initially pays out approved claims, but contractors are ultimately responsible for paying back claims up to the full bond amount. 

ZipBonds offers contractor license bond premiums for as little as $100 a year. We don’t require a credit check and can often get you bonded immediately.
