What it is and who needs it.
What the home improvement bond actually guarantees
Rockland County regulates home improvement contractors through its Department of Consumer Protection / Weights & Measures, which is dedicated to protecting the public from unlicensed contractors, fraud, and unfair practices. As part of licensing, the County can require a contractor to post a surety bond.
The bond is a homeowner-protection guarantee: if you default on a contract, it assures that the advance payments made — less the reasonable value of work actually performed — or the reasonable cost of completing the work are refunded or covered for the homeowner. It is approved as to form by the County Attorney and written by a surety authorized in New York.
It is a three-party arrangement between you (the principal), the surety, and Rockland County (the obligee), with the homeowner as the protected party. We bond the amount the County set, with your premium quoted after a quick application review — the application collects no credit information — and track renewals so your license filing stays continuous.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
Term and renewal are set in the underwriter's quote.
Keep the bond in force for as long as the obligation behind it runs.
