An Oregon Contractor – Residential General Bond is a type of surety bond required by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) for any contractor who wants to perform or supervise an unlimited amount of construction trades for residential and small commercial projects in the state. The bond amount is $25,000 and the cost of the surety bond is usually between 1% and 3% of the bond amount. Surety1 will shop its many markets to procure the right price at the right terms.
If a claim is filed against the bond and the CCB finds that the contractor is liable, the bonding company will pay the damages up to the $25,000 limit. This can help to protect homeowners from having to pay out of pocket to fix the contractor’s mistakes. If the surety company pays a claim on the bond, it will seek restitution from the bond principal (licensee).
