When it comes to roofing projects, it’s essential to stay on top of things to ensure everything runs smoothly. That said, circumstances may arise that may delay or even derail the project.
This is where having the necessary paperwork comes in. With a detailed contract in hand, you have a legal and binding document to protect your project. Here’s a look at the points you need to consider before signing a contract.
Project Scope
Contracts are legally binding documents that both parties need to adhere to. Should miscommunications between you and your contractor occur, you’ll have a written agreement to fall back on. Right from the get-go, understand the scope of work the project allows for. This should include items such as materials, the extent of work, and a projected timeline that could be broken down into several milestones.
Changes
Slight changes often occur during the course of roofing projects. You may, for instance, want a change of color or the texture just doesn’t feel right. In such cases, make sure to communicate this clearly and that you and your roofing company are on the same page. Put things down in writing to protect you from legal ramifications if issues arise in change orders.
Payment Schedule
This part of the contract should have the details of your payment scheme. It’s crucial to have a clear timeline of payments so you can get your finances in order. To protect yourself from subpar contractors, insist on a proper payment method that will be completed once the project has been concluded.
