Surety Bonds — FAQ

Common questions about surety bonds

A contractor license bond is a state-required bond that guarantees your business meets licensing requirements — it's typically a flat amount (often $10,000–$25,000) required to maintain your contractor license. A performance bond is a project-specific bond that guarantees you'll complete the contracted work. They serve very different purposes.

Performance bond premium is typically 1–3% of the contract value for contractors with good credit. For a $500,000 blasting project, the performance bond premium might run $5,000–$15,000. Rate depends on your financial strength, prior bonding history, and the project complexity.
