Key facts

Classification: C-33
License bond: $25,000
Statute: BPC §7071.6

Every classification carries the same license bond. The premium is a percentage of it, set by underwriting, not what you pay in full.

Bonds a painting contractor needs

The license bond is the same for painters as for every classification. Most residential painting needs only the license bond; as you take public or larger commercial contracts, the owner requires performance and payment bonds on those specific jobs, which we set up quickly.

Contractor License Bond ($25,000)

Required of every CSLB-licensed contractor, in every classification.

Performance & Payment Bonds

Required on most public and larger private jobs to guarantee the work and pay your subs and suppliers.

Hard-to-Place & Bad Credit

Challenged credit is welcome; we shop the markets that write it rather than declining you.
