When you need to get a roofing project done, your local roofers require you to sign a contract. This contactor should include all of your agreements with regards to the complete service of the contractor. All of the important details need to be included. Otherwise, you might end up paying more than you should, for less than what you should be getting.
Read on to learn all about what you should see when in your roofing contract.
Project Description
First and foremost, make sure that you’re paying for the right project. It’s not fun when you expect a roof replacement, but what is listed down is a kitchen remodel. That’s why roofers should always lay out the details of the project, including what it is and how it will be done. This includes each phase and a timeline. This leads us to:
Schedule
You shouldn’t wait two months for a project that can be finished in one. To clarify, the contract should detail how long you should expect the project to last. Each day of work should be included. This way, you can gauge how long your roofing or siding project will take to finish.
Terms of Payment
Another reason why the schedule helps is because you’ll need it to plan out payments. Depending on how your contractor works, they can ask for a down payment and subsequent fees. Make sure that the down payment is reasonable enough for your budget.
Termination Clause
Sometimes, you need to terminate the contract for reasons like issues on your end or a possible violation from either party. In these instances, always make sure there is an option to do so. Otherwise, you’ll end up paying more or be forced to wait until the project concludes. If this is in the contract, it also shows your contractor’s confidence in their abilities.
