Let's Get your Contract Surety Bonds to Yes.

What Are Contract Surety Bonds?

If you're bidding on a state or federal construction project, you'll often need a surety bond that guarantees your work to the government agency.

Any federal contract valued at over $150,000 requires it. Most state and local governments have the same requirements. Even many private owners require a bond for projects of a certain size. These bonds help owners reduce and transfer their own risk if contractors fail to perform their part of a project. You can learn more about how surety bonds work here.

Whether it's a parking lot, a school, or a hospital, surety bonds that are underwritten for construction projects are known as contract surety bonds. You may have also heard them called a contractor bond or construction bond.
