Bond Coverage Reality Check
The $25,000 contractor's bond covers approximately 8.3% of a typical $300,000 ADU or remodel. Bond claims are pro-rated across all valid claimants in a given year - if multiple homeowners have claims against the same contractor, each receives less. Your contract is your primary financial protection, not the bond. Hold meaningful retainage (10-15%) and tie progress payments to completed and inspected milestones.
Smart Questions to Ask This Specific Contractor
- You are filed as Workers Comp exempt. Confirm in writing that no employees or subcontractors will be on site, or provide WC coverage before they are.
- Your CSLB license is expiring soon (or has expired). Is renewal already filed? Please share the renewal receipt before we sign.
