Florida installation provider bonds.
From $100.
To join Lumber Liquidators’ Installation Provider program in Florida as an independent flooring contractor, the retailer requires a surety bond guaranteeing that you will perform under the Provider Agreement you sign. Pricing is 0.5% of the bond amount, $100 minimum; enter the figure your agreement states and your exact price appears at the application.

Three steps. One sitting.
Onboarding is usually gated on the bond and the insurance certificate arriving together. Here is the whole process:
Apply online
Your business details, the bond amount your agreement requires, the term, and the effective date — that is the entire application. No financials, no credit section.
Issued
The application collects no credit information and most approve on the spot, issuing right after payment. These are small-penal-sum bonds, so review is rare.
Send it to the program
Your executed bond and power of attorney arrive by email, ready to upload to the retailer’s vendor onboarding portal or send to your program contact. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
What it is and who needs it.
What the installation provider bond actually guarantees
This is a private commercial surety bond, not a license bond. The three parties are you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the flooring retailer as obligee — the company named on your Installation Provider Agreement. The retailer has traded as Lumber Liquidators, then as LL Flooring from 2022, and after F9 Investments acquired 219 stores out of Chapter 11 in September 2024 the remaining stores rebranded back to Lumber Liquidators. Name the obligee exactly as your agreement writes it — a mismatched obligee is the single most common reason a bond gets rejected at onboarding.
What the bond backs is compliance with the Provider Agreement: that you will perform the installation work you accept, to the standards the program sets, and in accordance with the state and local law that applies to that work. If you take a job through the program and abandon it, install defectively, or otherwise breach the agreement in a way that costs the retailer money, the retailer can claim against the bond — and if the surety pays, you repay the surety. It protects the retailer and, indirectly, the homeowner. It is not insurance for you.
It does not replace any license or registration. Florida regulates construction contracting through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation and the Construction Industry Licensing Board, and many Florida counties and municipalities register or license flooring and finish trades locally. A retailer program bond satisfies the retailer, not the state or the county — keep whatever license, registration, workers’ compensation and general liability coverage your work actually requires, and treat this bond as one more item on the onboarding checklist.
