What is bonding...? 
Just started a construction company. I did mostly sub-contract work for the past 4 years and under the you know what! Now I'm going full time in July. I'm in PA and I have already got insurance, 1 million, estimate now I want to learn more. What's bonded mean when you say you’re insured and bonded?

Re: What is bonding...? 
A contractor gets "bonded" with a Bonding Agency. This basically is a guarantee to your customer that you will meet any and all obligations required of you on a service that you're providing. It's not cheap but it is a good selling feature for you as a contractor. I believe one of the qualifications is a clean criminal record and probably a good work history. If you're an upstanding, law abiding, hard working, honest person, you shouldn't have a problem getting bonded.

A bond is a gaurantee by a third party that you will do the work prescribed by the specs of that job. It basically protects the owner, that you, the contractor will finsih the job. For example if you have three jobs going at the same time and and two of the jobs go bad, putting you in financial ruin, well its not the owners fault that you cant finish his job in which you have a contract with. When this happens the bonding company steps in and provides the funding to finish the job.
