Performance Bonds    

Performance bonds are surety bonds that guarantee quality contract performance by a contractor according to contract specifications, terms, and conditions. In the event that the contractor does not satisfactorily complete the job for which they were contracted, a construction performance bond prevents financial loss for the project owner.

Most contractors are required to provide a performance bond upon being awarded a large construction contract. Together with payment bonds, performance bonds are among the most common contract bonds on the market.

Performance bond insurance premiums vary for a number of reasons. Factors that affect the cost of performance bonds include the construction job’s projected cost, the contractor’s financial history, and the jurisdiction in which the performance bond will be issued. Contractors who have a good credit score usually pay a fee that costs between .5% and 5% of the bond amount. Some surety companies will work with contractors with bad credit, however they will charge a considerably higher fee that could range anywhere from 10% to 20% of the bond amount.
