Surety bonds for roofing contractors
Public and institutional re-roof projects are usually bonded, and manufacturer warranty requirements often sit alongside the surety requirement.
Requesting a bond does not affect your credit.

When roofing contractors need bonds

Payment and performance bonds on public re-roof and new-construction roofing scopes.
Schools and municipal buildings bond roofing work as a rule.

Underwriting
What underwriting looks at
CapStream underwrites on contracting experience, company ownership, financials, and largest jobs completed, and pairs the bond with a project financing commitment that strengthens the balance sheet.
Experience and completed work
Your contracting history and the largest jobs you have finished carry more weight than a record of prior bonded work.
Ownership and company details
Who owns the company, how long it has operated, and how the business is structured.
Financials
Working capital, net worth, and the trend in your financial statements set the size of your bonding line.
A financing commitment behind the bond
Because the bond is paired with project funding, the cash that lands on the job strengthens the balance sheet the surety underwrites.
Cash flow
The cash flow squeeze
Membrane, insulation, and fasteners are bought upfront in full truckloads, weather windows compress the schedule, and material price volatility means quotes expire fast. The material bill lands well before the first draw.
That is the gap CapStream closes with mobilization funding up to 20% of the contract price.
