  11. Peace of Mind For Owners “We often feel if the contractor qualifies for the bonds, it’s probably a stable organization and someone who has gone through a rigorous review of his financial credibility. He’s also probably capable of performing the work. We rely on the surety’s background checks of the general contractor to bring the contractors to a certain level of performance and guarantee that level of performance to us.” - Bob Knopf

  12. Peace of Mind For General Contractors “Just as owners require surety bonds from our company, we require them of our subcontractors because they provide us two levels of assurance: • First of all, that the work will be complete in accordance with the contract documents. • Secondly, that they will pay for the materials and subcontractors at their level & we won’t have to pay for anything more than once.” - Jim Davis, President James G. Davis Construction Corp.

The Goal is Project Completion “We were financing the development of a retail project with a large well-known discount department store that likes to get into its projects in October so they can benefit from the Christmas season. We did have a bonded contractor on that job and when the general contractor encountered financial difficulties, the bonding company stepped in and worked with the owner to replace that general contractor so that we were able to get that anchor tenant in on time for that particular season.” - Carleen Petronio
