As a dedicated partner to the construction industry, our commercial insurance agency specializes in providing comprehensive bonding solutions tailored to contractors’ unique needs.

  1. Permit bonds: These are required by many municipalities or local authorities before a contractor can begin a specific project, especially those that involve public property or infrastructure. Permit bonds guarantee that the contractor will comply with local laws, codes, and regulations. They are essential for ensuring that projects are completed according to the specified standards and within legal frameworks.
  2. Licensing bonds: Often a prerequisite for obtaining a professional license. Licensing bonds are required by state or local governments. These bonds ensure that contractors adhere to the laws and regulations governing their specific trade or profession. By obtaining a licensing bond, a contractor demonstrates their commitment to ethical business practices and compliance with industry standards.
  3. Contract bonds: These bonds are critical for contractors bidding on or undertaking specific projects. Contract bonds provide a guarantee to the project owner (the obligee) that the contractor (the principal) will perform the work as specified in the contract. This category includes several types of bonds, such as:
    • Bid bonds: Ensure that the contractor can honor their bid price and can secure a performance bond if awarded the contract.
    • Performance bonds: Guarantee that the contractor will complete the project according to the contract’s terms and conditions.
    • Payment bonds: Ensure that subcontractors, laborers, and material suppliers will be paid, safeguarding the project owner from potential liens against the property.
