Get your surety bonds fast: home improvement and new home construction registration bonds, bid and performance bonds, payment bonds, and specialty bonds for Connecticut contractors statewide.
Connecticut requires home improvement contractors to register with the Department of Consumer Protection (DCP). Registered home improvement contractors must carry a certificate of insurance but may also need a surety bond depending on the scope of work and local requirements.
New home construction contractors must register separately with the DCP under the New Home Construction Contractors program, which requires proof of financial responsibility. Electrical, plumbing, and HVAC contractors are licensed at the state level through separate boards.
Connecticut General Statutes requires payment and performance bonds on public construction contracts. Our shop issues Connecticut contractor bonds fast, often within the day for routine limits, and CTDOT adds its own bonding on roads and infrastructure.

Connecticut requires home improvement contractors and new home construction contractors to register with the DCP. While the primary requirement is insurance, a surety bond may be needed for certain project types, local requirements, or public works. Public construction contracts require payment and performance bonds.
The DCP registers contractors who perform residential remodeling, repair, renovation, and similar work. Registration requires proof of insurance and must be renewed on schedule. Some municipalities and project types may also require a surety bond.
New home construction contractors register separately with the DCP and must meet financial responsibility requirements. This registration covers builders constructing new residential dwellings and is separate from the home improvement registration.
Public jobs are bonded. Connecticut General Statutes ties payment and performance bonds to government contracts on public construction contracts.
The cost is an annual premium, a fraction of the bond's size. Strong credit earns the lowest percentage.
Fast, usually same-day after a quick form, so you can finish registering without waiting.
Yes. A higher percentage covers the added risk, and applicants rebuilding after liens or bankruptcy are routinely bonded.
A registration or license bond satisfies a state or local requirement and stays in force as long as you hold the registration. A bid bond is project specific and guarantees you will honor your bid and post the required performance and payment bonds if you win the work.
They renew yearly in most cases. Your surety bills the renewal before the term ends so nothing lapses.
Two different things. The bond answers to your clients and the public; insurance answers to you. Connecticut layers workers' compensation on as well.
Potentially. The DCP registration covers you statewide, but some municipalities require their own local contractor license or permit bond. Check with the building department in each town where you work.
Yes. Register where Connecticut requires it and we place a bond sized to that license or local rule so you can start.
