  • Our Philosophy:

  • Most national publicly- traded surety bond insurance companies that underwrite contractor bid bonds, performance bonds, court bonds and license bonds underwrite bonds based solely on credit scores and minimum net worth requirements reported on certified CPA financial statements that can be costly for contractors and other insured to obtain.

  • Service Insurance Company understands that strict credit scoring and minimum net worth requirements may not tell the contractor’s or other insured’s complete story.  That is why Service Insurance Company takes a holistic approach to underwriting and considers other factors such as scope and complexity of the project, prior performance, company longevity and management’s experience when evaluating a bonding line.  

  • AM Best (A-) Rated

 

  • Dedicated to the highest level of service.     
  • Approved by the Department Of The Treasury to write performance and payment bonds for federal projects. The Company holds a certificate of authority which is on file with the U S Department of The Treasury.   
  • The Company maintains reinsurance protection for all bonds issued with an (A)  rated reinsurance trade partner. 
  • The Company will entertain smaller contractors that have never been bonded and require help in obtaining their first bonds.
