How do contractor bonds work?
Contractor license bonds guarantee clients that their contractors will fulfill all work obligations according to local or state laws and regulations. If a contractor fails to meet the terms of the bond agreement, a client can file a claim against the bond for any damages the contractor caused.
If a claim is approved, the surety company will settle the claim upfront by paying out damages to clients. However, contractors will be fully responsible for paying the surety back over time.
To purchase your contractor bond, you’ll pay a premium, a small percentage of the total bond amount. ZipBonds can issue many contractor bonds instantly for as little as $100 per year.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long will my bond cover my work?
The initial bond term will typically last for one calendar year from the date of issuance. If your project lasts more than a year, you must renew your bond before it expires for it to remain active. The bond renewal date will be listed on your completed bond form.
What if a claim exceeds the bond amount?
The bond limit, or penal sum, is the maximum dollar amount a client can seek for compensation from a contractor’s bond. If damages exceed this amount, a client must seek other forms of payment. Contractors should avoid claims by finishing projects on time, according to contracts, and addressing client complaints as they arise.
