Happy Holidays
This time of year we celebrate all holidays the same way, we try to relate them to bonding in some way! The truth is, it is the time of year where contractors start to plan for next year. It is important to be as involved as possible this time of year to make sure that bonding obstacles are eliminated. We do not see as many final contract bonds in December and January, but we are still working hard to get contractors qualified for bonds next year.

Bond Application Review
CCI Surety, Inc. utilizes the information on the bond application and checklists to provide a quick response. If we are able to write the bond, we may require more information. Typically an underwriter is able to give a strong indication on whether or not a bond will be written. This helps save time that more arduous bond applications may entail. If you have questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to an underwriter directly.
Other Types of Bonds
Small contractors also have other bond needs that may come up. CCI Surety, Inc. also has a dedicated commercial bond department that handles a variety of surety bonds for small contractors including License & Permit bonds.
Larger Contractor Bond Programs
Contractors with bond needs ranging for $250,000 to $6,000,000 may also be bonded through CCI Surety. Our target range is typically surety bonds for projects $3,000,000 and under.
