Once you file a complaint…
If you are an owner, we schedule an on-site meeting between you and your contractor.
A mediator comes to your project site and listens to both sides.
If you reach a settlement, we’ll type up an agreement.
If no settlement is reached, you can go to court and ask for a judgment against the contractor. We will provide a copy of our observations if applicable from a mediation attempt. CCB does not generally make statements regarding work quality.
If you obtain a court judgment and the contractor does not pay you, you may be able to collect from the contractor’s bond.
If you already filed in court or you already have a judgment, file the complaint but also include a copy of your filed court complaint and a certified copy of your judgment. A certified copy is a copy of the judgment document signed by the judge that the court clerk stamps and certifies as a true and correct copy of the original.
Tip
If you think you have a dispute, file a complaint promptly. Bonds are for limited amounts and there may be multiple people seeking restitution.
