AL residential roofer bonds.
$100 flat.
Alabama requires every residential roofer to file a $10,000 bond with the Home Builders Licensure Board. Ours is $100 flat — set by our carrier’s rate book for this bond, identical for every roofer. The bond issues the moment you pay — no credit review of any kind, not even a soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Alabama licenses residential roofers through the Home Builders Licensure Board, and conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a compliance guarantee: it stands behind your obligation to follow Alabama's residential roofing law and the Board's rules.
It's a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier standing behind you, and the State of Alabama / Home Builders Licensure Board (the obligee). If a roofer violates the licensing law and the Board or a harmed party recovers, the claim is paid against the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Roofers who follow the rules treat the bond as a license formality, and we track the renewal so your $10,000 filing stays continuous.
