DBKS Bonds, certificates and bid-ready paperwork for Texas contractors.
We get your bonding and insurance paperwork in order before the bid is due, and keep your subs' certificates checked and current after you win it.
We don't just check your subs' limits. We help get the coverage in place.
When a sub's certificate comes up short, most tracking stops at "non-compliant." We keep going. As a licensed agency working with our preferred partner, The Nitsche Group, we help your subs raise limits, add endorsements and close the gaps so they can get on the job.
Common questions
But my sub is with Liberty Mutual. How do you know you have access to them?
We work with the carriers that write Texas contractors, directly and through our preferred partner, The Nitsche Group, and our wholesale brokers. And if we don't have a direct appointment with a particular carrier, our partner's more than 75 years in the Texas market give us multiple ways to get access.
Will you take my sub away from their current agent?
No. Our first step is to work with the sub's current agent to raise limits or add the missing wording. A new quote or a switch is optional, and only if the sub asks for it.
How fast can a non-compliant sub get fixed?
It depends on what's missing and the carrier. Many limit increases and endorsements can be handled quickly once we know exactly what the contract requires, and we keep you posted until the updated certificate is in hand.
Love overpaying a vendor to chase your subs' certificates? Great. Stick with them.
If not, there's a simpler way: one flat monthly fee. No per-sub charges.
