About Us

California Contractors Insurance Services, Inc. is a construction bond and insurance agency, with over 5,000 licensed contractors that have been with the company for more than 10 years on average. Since our predecessor, Joseph E. Pappalardo Insurance Services, began servicing contractors in 1968, our agents have maintained a perfect license record.

Our goal is to obtain bonds and insurance for our contractor clients with optimal premium rates and structure. We write with several insurance companies, allowing us the resources to find the best fit for our clients. We always deliver prompt, professional service so that contractors can quickly address their bonding and insurance requirements in a simple, hassle-free way and return their focus to their contracting business.
