New York, NY – December 22, 2025 — Roosevelt Road Specialty (RRS), a leading specialty managing general underwriter (MGU), today announced the launch of its expanded surety bond offerings through its new underwriting platforms geared toward small- to mid-sized contractors and collateralized reinsurance firms. The new programs, delivered under the banners of Premium Surety Solutions and Surety Underwriting Solutions, provide flexible, nationwide access to contract and commercial surety bonds, including bid, performance, payment, license, permit, maintenance, court, and fiduciary bonds.
With this expansion, Roosevelt Road Specialty is extending its surety capabilities to a broad array of trade contractors, including carpentry, electrical, plumbing, masonry, mechanical, paving, concrete, drywall, steel (structural and ornamental), and general contractors, as well as collateralized reinsurance companies.
Through Premium Surety Solutions, RRS offers tailored surety products to meet the unique needs of these clients. The suite of bond coverages includes:
- Bid bonds, guaranteeing contract acceptance upon award.
- Performance and payment bonds, ensuring work completion and proper compensation to subcontractors and suppliers.
- License and permit bonds, maintenance bonds, as well as court and fiduciary bonds.
These offerings are backed by Roosevelt Road Specialty’s full-service underwriting infrastructure and in-house reinsurance capacity via Roosevelt Road Re.
Surety bonds — legally binding three-party agreements that guarantee a contractor’s obligations to a project owner (obligee) — are a foundational risk-management tool in construction and commercial contracting.
By offering these bonds through specialized underwriting platforms, Roosevelt Road Specialty is meeting an important demand: many small to mid-sized contractors and specialized firms struggle to obtain reliable surety capacity under traditional surety markets. The new programs aim to provide these firms with access to robust, flexible bond solutions that support growth, compliance, and project continuity.
