Roofing Contractor Bond
Every C-39 roofing contractor in California carries the same $25,000 license bond. Roofing can be a credit-sensitive trade to underwrite, which is exactly where a broker earns its keep. We place license, performance, and payment bonds, tough credit included.

Every classification carries the same license bond. The premium is a percentage of it, set by underwriting, not what you pay in full.
Bonds a roofing contractor needs
The license bond amount is the same for roofers as everyone else. What roofers notice is underwriting: some markets treat roofing as higher-risk, so credit-challenged roofing files can get declined by a single carrier. As a broker we shop multiple markets, which is why roofing is a trade where a hard-to-place specialist matters.
Required of every CSLB-licensed contractor, in every classification.
Required on most public and larger private jobs to guarantee the work and pay your subs and suppliers.
Roofing files with tough credit are our specialty; we shop the markets that write them.
