What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Arkansas requires residential roofing contractors to register with the Contractors Licensing Board and file a $15,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance-and-consumer-protection guarantee — it stands behind your residential roofing work and your fair dealing with homeowners.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the Contractors Licensing Board together with the homeowners you serve. Under A.C.A. 17-25-604, the bond is conditioned on your compliance with the Residential Contractor Licensing Law — roofing, roof-deck, and sheet-metal roofing work done to standard and contracts performed.
It is not insurance for you. A homeowner harmed by a roofer's failure to comply can recover against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. The bond must stay active for your registration to stay valid; we track it and notify you 60 and 30 days out.
