FAQs
Common Questions from Plumbing Contractors Businesses
Does a plumber's license bond protect my business?
A license bond protects your customers and the licensing authority — not you directly. However, maintaining a bond is required to stay licensed and legally operate.
How long does it take to get bonded as a plumbing contractor?
Most contractor license bonds can be issued same-day or within 24 hours. We work with multiple surety markets to find you the best rate.
Is a surety bond the same as insurance?
Not exactly — insurance protects the policyholder from loss. A surety bond protects the obligee (the party requiring the bond) if the bonded party fails to perform. The bonded business is expected to repay any claims paid by the surety. It's more of a credit guarantee than a traditional insurance product.
What is the difference between a performance bond and a payment bond?
A performance bond guarantees that a contractor will complete the contracted work. A payment bond guarantees that the contractor will pay their subcontractors, laborers, and suppliers. On public projects over a certain value, federal law (the Miller Act) requires both.
