Bonding Letters in Pennsylvania
The Keating Agency writes bonding letters across Pennsylvania. Owners and GCs often ask for a bonding letter before you bid. We issue a clean letter stating your single and aggregate capacity, signed by the surety.
A bonding (or surety) letter confirms that a surety supports your contracting operation and states the single-project and aggregate limits they're comfortable bonding. It's a prequalification tool — not a guarantee of any specific bond — used to satisfy owners, GCs, and bid documents.
In Pennsylvania: PennDOT and Pennsylvania public owners often request a bonding letter during prequalification, because Public Works Bond Law projects require performance and payment bonds. The letter documents your single and aggregate surety capacity so agencies and GCs can vet you before bid.

Bonding Letters in Pennsylvania — FAQ
Is a bonding letter a guarantee that you'll issue the bond?
No. It states the surety's general support and capacity. Each bond is still issued subject to the usual review, but a letter means your account is already underwritten.
How fast can I get one?
For an underwritten account, often same day. For a new account we need to establish the file first — financials and WIP are the gating items.
What limits will the letter show?
Your single and aggregate capacity as supported by your financials and track record. We work to position the strongest accurate numbers.
