About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Unlike most license bonds, Kentucky does not run a statewide roofing contractor license — there is no state agency that licenses roofers. The $10,000 roofing bond is instead a requirement to become a member of the Kentucky Roofing Contractors Association (KRCA).

The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your contracts, so a customer harmed if you fail to perform the terms of a roofing job can recover against it. It's a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety, and the protected customer.

Because this is a membership requirement rather than a state mandate, confirm with KRCA (or whoever is asking) that the $10,000 surety bond is what they need. If a city or county where you work imposes its own roofing or general contractor requirement, that may be a separate filing — send it to us and we'll confirm.

KRCA membership (no statewide license)Kentucky has no statewide roofing contractor license. The $10,000 roofing contractor surety bond is the requirement to qualify for membership in the Kentucky Roofing Contractors Association (KRCA); the bond protects consumers against a contractor’s failure to perform under contract. Local jurisdictions may impose separate contractor requirements — confirm with KRCA or your local authority which bond applies to you.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does Kentucky license roofing contractors?Not at the state level — there is no statewide roofing contractor license in Kentucky. The $10,000 roofing bond is a requirement for Kentucky Roofing Contractors Association (KRCA) membership, or sometimes a client or local requirement, rather than a state license bond.
How much is the Kentucky roofing contractor bond?The premium is $100, flat, one-time — set by our carrier's rate book for the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every roofer. The $10,000 amount is fixed, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.
Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. If a check ever runs, it's a soft pull that won't affect your credit score.
When does it renew?Terms run 1, 2, or 3 years and renew on a calendar-year (12/31) date. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your membership bond stays continuous.
