A building permit and the Building Contractor Bond are required of all contractors that perform construction within the City of Lufkin, Texas. These requirements are put in place to ensure that the contractor will perform construction in compliance with building regulations, as well as honor any contractual obligations that were agreed upon with the customer (e.g. the city themselves or a resident). If the contractor commits a permit violation or breach of the contract, the surety bond will act as a financial guarantee and covers any losses incurred by the damaged party.
For example, if you cause damages to a client’s personal property while on the job, you will be expected to either fix the problem or pay for its replacement. So even if you just spill a little bit of paint on a client’s couch, it will be in your best interest to work with the client to resolve the matter by either replacing the couch or paying for it to be cleaned professionally. Whichever option the client prefers. Failure on your part to take action may lead to the damaged party filing a claim on your Building Contractor Bond.
