About this bond

What it is and who needs it.

What the bond actually guarantees

Unlike most license bonds, Kentucky does not run a statewide roofing contractor license — there is no state agency that licenses roofers. The $10,000 roofing bond is instead a requirement to become a member of the Kentucky Roofing Contractors Association (KRCA).

The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind your contracts, so a customer harmed if you fail to perform the terms of a roofing job can recover against it. It's a three-party arrangement — you (the principal), the surety, and the protected customer.

Because this is a membership requirement rather than a state mandate, confirm with KRCA (or whoever is asking) that the $10,000 surety bond is what they need. If a city or county where you work imposes its own roofing or general contractor requirement, that may be a separate filing — send it to us and we'll confirm.

KRCA membership (no statewide license)Kentucky has no statewide roofing contractor license. The $10,000 roofing contractor surety bond is the requirement to qualify for membership in the Kentucky Roofing Contractors Association (KRCA); the bond protects consumers against a contractor’s failure to perform under contract. Local jurisdictions may impose separate contractor requirements — confirm with KRCA or your local authority which bond applies to you.

FAQ

Common questions.

Does Kentucky license roofing contractors?Not at the state level — there is no statewide roofing contractor license in Kentucky. The $10,000 roofing bond is a requirement for Kentucky Roofing Contractors Association (KRCA) membership, or sometimes a client or local requirement, rather than a state license bond.

How much is the Kentucky roofing contractor bond?The premium is $100, flat, one-time — set by our carrier's rate book for the fixed $10,000 bond amount, the same for every roofer. The $10,000 amount is fixed, so there is no quote process.

Do I pay the $10,000?No. You pay $100. The $10,000 is the surety's maximum liability if a valid claim is made against the bond — not a deposit, and nobody holds your money.

Is there a credit check?The application collects no credit information, and most applications approve instantly.

When does it renew?The bond runs to December 31 whatever day you buy and renew on a calendar-year (12/31) date. We send renewal notices 60 and 30 days out, with autopay available, so your membership bond stays continuous.

Which A-rated carriers underwrite these bonds?Typically Arch Insurance Company (A.M. Best A+) or Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (A.M. Best A). Which one writes your bond depends on the bond type and your state. The carrier's name and official signature are printed on the bond you receive.
