Are we Bondable?

[Bond Guy]

We are a small stone masonry business located in Northern VA. On the applications that we are receiving to bid work, the questions are asked "are we bondable", "what's our bond rate" and "for how much"? Would we need a performance bond or a general contractor license bond? This would not be just on one particular job, but just to have so we can say that we're "bondable"? Could you explain this to me a little bit more? I'm stuck on the obligee information, since no one is really requiring it but us! We have been in business since 2003 and our only bond currently is for $10,000 because that's what Prince William County required of our license. Thanks very much!

You can submit an application for pre-qualification to determine if you are "bondable" or not. We would provide you with a letter indicating your bonding capacity and what the rates are. Please re-visit our website to submit an application.
