The bond required by Orange County, FL allows your clients to make claims on it when shoddy workmanship or inappropriate materials are used. However, your clients will not need to claim on the bond if your company repairs the work in question. Repairing the work means bringing it up to code and/or replacing defective materials used in construction.
