Guarantees That Build Confidence

A Surety Bond is a three-party agreement between the principal (you), the obligee (the entity requiring the bond), and the surety (the insurance company that guarantees your obligation will be fulfilled). If you fail to meet the terms of your contract, the surety steps in—providing protection for the obligee.

We help secure a wide range of bonds, including:

  • Bid Bonds – Required during the bidding process to guarantee you will enter the contract if awarded.

  • Performance Bonds – Ensures that you will complete a project according to the terms and specifications of the contract.

  • Payment Bonds – Guarantees payment to subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers on a project.

  • Permit and License Bonds – Often required by Massachusetts municipalities for business licenses or to perform specific services.

  • Sidewalk Bonds – Guarantees safe and proper restoration of public walkways after construction or utility work.

Meeting Massachusetts Requirements

Many cities and towns across Massachusetts—including Boston, Worcester, and Cambridge—require Surety Bonds as part of their permitting, bidding, or licensing process. Whether you’re applying for a street occupancy permit or bidding on public infrastructure work, a valid bond is often the key to getting started.

We assist with bonds that meet the specific legal and regulatory standards of local and state agencies throughout the Commonwealth.

I have been insured with Michael Segreve and continued with Segreve and Hall for over 37 years. My experience with them has always been very informative; positive, pleasant and professional. Michael has guided me financially for many years and without his knowledge of finances I would have never been able to purchase my house and have retirement savings. The office staff and insurance agents have always been very helpful and supportive no matter what the circumstances are. I will continue to insure my home, business, all my vehicles and financial needs with Segreve and Hall because they are the best!

I have been a client of Segreve and Hall for some time now. I have had nothing but great experiences and interactions with the team at Segreve and Hall. Dan St. Pierre has always been my go to point of contact. Recently, Dan was out and Fin and Michael Brandolini helped me transfer an auto policy. As always the team was great. They quickly worked through the process and got me into a new policy. They have all of my insurance business and I am grateful.

Three generations of my family are insured through Segreve and Hall, and I cannot speak more highly of the service Thomas has provided for us recently. When I needed my car insured after moving back to MA, he took care of everything. It is hard to come by a trustworthy company like Segreve and Hall that consistently exceeds expectations and is so responsive and transparent at the same time. Highly recommend these folks for any and all insurance needs!

I have been working with S&H insurance for the past few years; I have insured multiple properties and autos. S&H has provided me excellent service, prices and has been responsive to all the questions I had throughout the years. Sean, Dan, Ashley and other staff have been excellent with the attitude and friendliness to work with. They have even asked me to provide my kids school transcript in order to help us reduce the cost of the insurance. They have gone above and beyond in service compared to many insurance companies I have dealt with in the past. They have provided me with many quotes from different sources to compare prices and made the process easy to select the right insurance for us. I would recommend S&H Insurance company to anyone because of the responsiveness, knowledge and reliability.

Always great to work with Segreve & Hall. The people there are fantastic, professional and they help make the process simple and stress free. Second time getting a different policy and both times went smoothly. This recent policy was a commercial policy and I was assisted by Paulo. He was extremely helpful and worked diligently to get me the best price possible. Given the current insurance market conditions I’m extremely satisfied with the premium I received. Top notch customer service. More importantly the continued customer support they provide. Highly recommend Segreve and Hall.
