ABOUT SHOREWEST

Trust. Integrity. Experience.

ESTABLISHED

OUR STORY

A bond-only agency, focused on getting it right.

Shorewest Surety Services was founded in 1999 to serve a clear need in the Midwest construction market — a surety agency that does only one thing, and does it exceptionally well. Today, our team carries more than 100 years of combined experience and represents 15+ A-rated surety companies across the country.

We hold in-house underwriting authority, a status reserved for a small number of agencies nationwide. That means our agents can make bond decisions directly, without waiting on a carrier — a meaningful advantage for contractors facing tight bid deadlines.

From single-bond contractors to large construction firms with sophisticated bonding programs, we structure relationships designed to grow with you. Our commitment is simple: prompt service, sound counsel, and a partner you can depend on.

WHAT SETS US APART

Why clients choose Shorewest.

In-House Underwriting Authority

A rare distinction allowing our agents to issue bond decisions on the spot — no waiting on a carrier. Faster approvals, greater flexibility, particularly for complex or time-sensitive accounts.

Immediate Turnaround

Deadlines don’t wait, and neither do we. Our team is structured to deliver bonds quickly so you can submit bids and keep your projects on schedule.

Modern Technology

We use Surety 2000 and Erlon Surety platforms to streamline issuance and account management — efficient electronic delivery, accurate records, and a smoother experience.

Deep Market Access

Longstanding relationships with 15+ A-rated surety companies give us the flexibility to place hard-to-bond accounts and structure programs that grow with your business.

Construction Focused

The majority of our work serves construction and manufacturing clients. We understand the contracts, the timelines, and the regulatory landscape you operate in.

Long-Term Partnership

Many of our client relationships span decades. We provide strategic counsel on bonding capacity, succession planning, and the financial structure of your bonding program.
