How do contractor license bonds work?
A contractor license bond guarantees client protection if a contractor breaks their contract with subpar work performance. By signing the bond agreement, contractors also ensure that they’ll follow the standards and regulations of the obligee (Village of LaGrange).
If a client files a valid claim against a contractor’s license bond, the surety will cover the costs to settle the claim upfront. However, the contractor is ultimately responsible for repaying the surety in full.
To acquire your bond, you will pay a premium – a small percentage of the penal sum. ZipBonds often processes these bonds instantly, and premiums start at just $100.
