Trusted Faithful Performance Bond Services

A faithful performance bond is a surety bond that guarantees a contractor or principal will complete contracted work according to the agreement. If the principal fails to perform, the obligee may make a claim under the bond. Atlantic Coast Surety reviews the contract, bond penalty, project scope, dates, bid details, and underwriting information to help arrange an appropriate bond.

The cost of a performance bond is based on underwriting factors rather than the bond amount alone. Surety providers may consider credit, financial strength, contract type, project risk, prior bonding history, and the required bond form. Smaller bond amounts can still require review, especially when special forms or higher-risk obligations are involved.

Performance bonds are commonly required for contractors, construction firms, subdivision developers, and businesses performing work under a contract. The obligee may be a project owner, municipality, general contractor, or public agency. These bonds give the obligee financial assurance that the contracted work will be completed according to agreed terms and specifications.

Applications usually require the principal’s company information, obligee details, job description, project location, contract amount, bond penalty, start and completion dates, and bid history. Atlantic Coast Surety may also review work in progress, financial standing, credit information, prior bonding experience, delivery preferences, and whether a special bond form requires underwriter approval.

No. A performance bond guarantees completion of the contracted work, while a payment bond helps ensure subcontractors, laborers, and suppliers are paid. Many construction contracts require both. Atlantic Coast Surety provides contract surety bond support that can include performance and payment bond needs based on the project and obligee requirements.

Atlantic Coast Surety gathers these details to help identify suitable bond market options.

Strong underwriting submissions usually include complete contract details, accurate financial information, clear project descriptions, realistic completion timelines, and evidence of relevant experience.
