When the roofing work dried up, we had the opportunity to bid on some Public Works concrete jobs. So we got a license for that. Come to find out, those public works concrete jobs are going at a fraction of what he would have bid them for, so we decided to bid on some other public works landscaping jobs.

Contractor license bonds are the same as contract bonds. Although both are used for construction projects, contractor license bonds are a type of license and permit bond whereas contract bonds are not.

If a state or local government agency requires a contractor license bond, construction professionals must file them before they can be licensed to work in a specific area. Contractor license bonds are typically valid for one year. MORE >> -
