The main purpose of a contractor surety bond is to act as a financial guarantee to the City of Midland, Texas, and its people. It’s essentially a “just in case” type of coverage that provides restitution if the contractor commits negligence, poor workmanship, or a breach of contract, leading to financial loss incurred by the public or the City. 

For example, the Small Construction Contractor Bond is required of contractors who are proposing a project on a structure that is 5,000 square feet or less which includes one to two-family residences. Once hired for such a home improvement project, the contractor will be expected to follow all building code regulations, as well as fulfill any contractual obligations agreed upon with the homeowner. 

If you’re trying to save some money and decide to cut corners and use lower-quality materials than were agreed upon with your client, this is considered a breach of contract and you will be subject to a bond claim. It is in your best interest to try and resolve the problem as quickly as possible which means you will need to go back and redo your work with the materials that were originally stated in the contract. Failure to do so can lead to the damaged party filing a claim on your bond to cover the cost of hiring a new contractor to complete the project properly. 

If you need to renew your surety bond at any point, all you need to do is give our team a call at 855-296-2663 and we can help you out with the renewal process.
