About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

A siding, roofing & windows contractor license bond is a compliance-and-public-protection guarantee. The Village of South Russell conditions your trade license on it so the village, and residents who hire you, have a financial backstop that you'll follow the village's building and contractor rules.

It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the Village of South Russell (the obligee), with residents and the village as the protected parties. If you violate the contractor ordinance or leave damage to public property unpaid, a harmed party can recover against the bond.

It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. We track the bond and notify you 60 and 30 days before expiration so your $10,000 filing with the Village stays continuous.

Village of South Russell — Siding/Roofing/Windows LicensingThe Village of South Russell requires this bond as a condition of its siding, roofing & windows contractor license; the $10,000 bond amount and terms are set by the Village and administered through its Building Department. South Russell licenses contractors by trade (general, electrical, and siding/roofing/windows are separate licenses) — confirm you're filing under the siding/roofing/windows category. We don't cite a specific code section we can't verify; the controlling requirement is South Russell's contractor licensing ordinance.

FAQs

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, the bond team can usually answer within the hour.

How much is the South Russell siding/roofing/windows contractor bond? +
The premium is $300 — a flat 3% of the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every contractor. The $10,000 is set by the Village, so there is no quote process.
Do I pay the $10,000? +
No. You pay $300. 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 this different from the general or electrical contractor bond? +
Yes. South Russell licenses contractors by trade, so general, electrical, and siding/roofing/windows are separate licenses, each with its own $10,000 bond. This page is the siding, roofing & windows bond — pick the page that matches the license you are filing.
Is there a credit check? +
Not on this bond — the application has no credit section at all. Small fixed-amount municipal license bonds like this one don't need one.
When does it renew? +
The bond must stay active for as long as you're licensed with the Village. You can buy a 1, 2, or 3-year term; we send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your license never lapses over a missed email.
