Contractor License Bonds Insurance, explained.
The $25K bond every CSLB-licensed contractor must carry, out the same day in most cases.
Contractor License Bonds
A contractor license bond is a state-required surety bond guaranteeing your compliance with contracting laws. In California, $25,000 is the standard requirement for the CSLB license. The bond protects clients, employees and the state, not you.
No bond, no license. A lapse means the state suspends your right to contract. We turn most of these around same day.

When this coverage pays off.

A new contractor needs a bond filed before CSLB will issue the license. We rate, issue and file same day.
Lapsed renewal
A renewal slipped through the cracks, we re-issue and re-file before suspension impacts your business.
Bond-required job
A specific project requires proof of bond. We provide it immediately for inclusion in your bid packet.
