How do contractor bonds work?
A contractor license bond guarantees that clients receive quality work from hired contractors. By signing the bond agreement, contractors agree to work by the standards and regulations of their obligee (Mahoning Township).
Clients may file a claim if a contractor breaks their surety contract. The surety will initially pay out a claim if approved, but contractors are ultimately responsible for paying the surety back in full for all associated costs.
You will pay a premium, a small percentage of the bond amount, to obtain your bond. ZipBonds can often get you bonded immediately, and premiums begin at just $100.
Frequently Asked Questions
Your initial bond will typically last for the calendar year you post it. You must then renew your bond for each consecutive year – for the duration of your project. Keep your bond updated to avoid fines and compliance issues in your location.
The bond amount is the highest dollar value a client can directly seek from a bonded contractor. However, if damages from completed work exceed that amount, clients may seek other forms of compensation. As a contractor, you can avoid claims by ensuring excellent work performance and answering client complaints promptly.
