Quick Facts About Roofing Contractor Bonds
Common Questions About Roofing Contractor Bonds
How much does a roofing contractor bond cost?
Roofing contractor bonds typically cost 1-3% of the required bond amount annually. For example, a $15,000 bond could cost $150-$450 per year, depending on your credit score and experience. Contractors with good credit (700+) usually qualify for the lowest rates.
What's the difference between a roofing bond and insurance?
A roofing contractor bond protects consumers if you fail to meet licensing requirements or complete work improperly. General liability insurance protects you against claims. Both are typically required - the bond for licensing, insurance for business protection.
Can I get a roofing contractor bond with bad credit?
Yes! While credit affects your rate, most roofing contractors can still get bonded. Applicants with challenged credit may pay 3-10% instead of 1-3%, but approval is still possible. We work with carriers who specialize in higher-risk contractors.
