Surety done right — since 2012
The Keating Agency is a nationwide surety bond agency built around contract surety. We're responsive, accurate, and easy to reach — the agency contractors call when the bid is due at four o'clock.
We specialize in contract surety — bid bonds, performance and payment bonds, bonding letters, and subdivision bonds for developers — and we place the full range of commercial surety alongside it. Our bonds are issued on the paper of A-rated carriers, and we write in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.
What sets us apart isn't a product; it's how we work. We set your underwriting up once, keep your program ready, and confirm the exact obligee language before you submit — so a bid bond is a same-day formality and a performance program scales with your backlog instead of fighting it.
For credit-qualified contractors up to $3,000,000 a job — and developers needing subdivision bonds up to $1.5M–$2M — our credit-based Express program skips the full financial package and gets you issued fast off a short online application. When you grow past it, we move you into a standard program without starting over.
