NJ Lumber Liquidators installer bonds.
0.5% of the bond amount.
Contractors who take flooring installation work referred through Lumber Liquidators stores sign an Installation Provider Agreement, and that agreement — not a New Jersey statute — is what requires this bond. The obligee is Lumber Liquidators, Inc. itself. Premiums cost 0.5% of the bond amount, with a $100 minimum; the application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly. Enter the amount your agreement specifies and your exact price appears at the application.

What it is and who needs it.
What the installation provider bond actually covers
Lumber Liquidators sells flooring; it does not employ the crews that lay it. Installation is performed by independent installation providers — local contractors who sign an Installation Provider Agreement with the retailer and take jobs referred through its stores. The bond is one of the onboarding conditions in that agreement, alongside general liability insurance and a W-9. The retailer rebranded to LL Flooring in 2022 and, after the 2024 sale of the stores and the brand to F9 Investments, reverted to the Lumber Liquidators name — the bond form still names the corporate entity, so use the exact obligee wording on the packet you were sent.
The guarantee is performance and compliance: that you will do the installation work in accordance with the agreement and applicable state and local law. Because the homeowner's contract is with the retailer, the retailer carries the consumer's problem when an installation is defective, abandoned, or done without the permits it needed — and the bond is what lets it recover instead of absorbing that loss. Claims come from the obligee, not from a state board.
This is not the State of New Jersey's contractor bond, and it does not replace registration. New Jersey separately requires home improvement contractors to register with the Division of Consumer Affairs under the Contractors' Business Registration Act (N.J.S.A. 56:8-136 et seq.), which carries its own insurance and, more recently, bonding obligations. Being bonded to Lumber Liquidators satisfies the retailer; it does not satisfy Trenton. Most installers end up carrying both.
