Construction surety bonds
Bid, performance, payment, and maintenance — placed as a program you can bid on, not a one-off form.
The owner wants proof you will sign the contract and post performance and payment bonds if you win. You need the bid bond in the envelope or the portal, on the bid date. We issue them quickly, including for contractors who have had trouble getting bid bonds elsewhere.
Bid Bonds in OhioIf you default, the surety finishes the job or pays to have it finished. Municipalities, GCs, and private owners require this on nearly every public contract and many private ones. We set the program to your work-on-hand and the size of work you want to bid next — not last year’s limit.
Performance Bonds in OhioOn Miller Act and Little Miller Act work, a payment bond is mandatory. Owners and GCs want the project free of mechanics’ liens. We place performance and payment together as a P&P package so you are not shopping two products for the same job.
Payment Bonds in OhioSome specs call for a maintenance or warranty bond after substantial completion. We can include it when we write the performance bond, or bond a warranty on a job that is already in the ground.

The shop
There is no single surety for every contractor. We look at the job, the financials, and the work on hand, then place you with a market that writes your trade — including houses that still take hard-to-place accounts.
After the program is in place, the job is the bid date, a bump in work on hand, or a GC who wants a bond overnight. That is what you call us for.
