Surety Bonds since the Beginning.

Since 2004, we’ve worked to keep promises. At Gusso Surety Bonds, the only thing broken are barriers that keep you from getting results you deserve.

Growing up in an “insurance household”, the Gusso brothers (Jason and Travis) were destined to join the family business. Following their father’s footsteps, they entered the surety business in 1999 and 2001, respectively.

They worked in bond management for a local agency before forming Gusso Surety Bonds in 2004. Today, Gusso thrives due to the work and the connections they’ve built with clients.

Surety Bonds We Offer

Bid Bonds

A bond that provides the construction owner with bid security, that the contractor in good faith with enter into a contract at the amount bid and will provide the necessary performance and payment bonds.
