“Mike was a great help to Smith in navigating the bonding requirements for the Massachusetts Paid Family and Medical Leave (PFML).
He was very knowledgeable and extremely fast in his responses - making for an efficient compliance process. ”
“Our company has worked with Metayer Bonding Associates exclusively since the day Mike Metayer started his business. He understands both the complex nature of the construction industry and our specific needs for bonding. Mike has always been able to work with us and his bonding underwriter so that we have never been refused a bond for any project that we felt capable of handling.”
“Mike Metayer & Metayer Bonding Associates have handled all of our bonding and surety business since our inception over 20 years ago. Over these years we have utilized their services for bonding of municipal and government-funded projects, completion guarantees for large infrastructure components for our development projects as well as municipal and state bonding requirement for construction performed by our excavation subsidiary. In all instances, Mike and his staff were responsive to our requests and executed on all commitments required for our company. I would strongly recommend Metayer Bonding Associates to any contractor requiring bonding services.”
