ALWAYS Sign a Contract

With all the money involved in home improvements homeowners need to be concerned with getting everything they've paid for and when they want it. Homeowners should get a contract with all the i's dotted and the t's crossed. To reduce the likelihood of disputes, a homeowner needs to have "a meeting of the minds" with the contractor on every possible aspect of the contract. The Remodelers Council of the National Association of Home Builders cautions that no work be allowed to start until the customer reviews and signs a written agreement spelling out "in detail "the what, where, how, time span, and cost of the project" In other words is the contractor says, "Don't worry about it, we don't need a contract," the homeowner should insist on one or start looking for another remodeler. Any agreement should start with the contractors contact information and if any unforeseen costs that a homeowner might run into. Also ask the contractor who is going to pay for and obtain permits. Keep in mind weather is a major variable in completion-date deadlines as are material-delivery dates beyond the contractor's control.
