Contractor Bonds Made Easy for Oregon Artisan Contractors

Oregon Contractor Bonds

If you’re an artisan contractor in Southern Oregon — whether you’re building custom homes in Grants Pass, remodeling kitchens in Medford, or pouring concrete in Ashland — securing the right contractor bonds is essential to running a compliant, trustworthy business in Oregon.

At Eastman Insurance Solutions, our Oregon location specializes in helping contractors across the state — from Eugene to Bend, Salem to Klamath Falls — easily secure contractor license bonds, payment bonds, and performance bonds without the hassle.

What Are Contractor Bonds — and Why Do You Need Them?

Contractor bonds are not insurance — they are guarantees that you’ll meet your obligations. Think of them as a promise to your clients and to the state of Oregon that you’ll do the job right.

Here are the three main types of bonds artisan contractors typically need:

1. Contractor License Bond

This bond is required by the Oregon Construction Contractors Board (CCB) to get or renew your contractor license. It protects the public from poor workmanship, fraud, or non-compliance with state regulations.

2. Performance Bond

This bond protects the project owner by ensuring that you complete the job as agreed. If you walk off the job or fail to meet project specs, the bond kicks in to cover the cost of completion.

3. Payment Bond

This bond guarantees that you’ll pay your subcontractors and suppliers. It’s commonly required for public works and large commercial jobs, especially in cities like Portland, Eugene, and Roseburg.
