Get It In Writing

  • When you have selected a contractor, get all agreements in writing. A written agreement will make sure there are no misunderstandings about the work, or the terms of the contract.
  • Make sure that you read all documents carefully. While it is not required, it is often a good idea to have an attorney review the contract and any other forms before you sign them, especially if a large sum of money is involved.
  • Don't be afraid to ask questions about anything you do not understand. Ask for any changes or modifications before you sign the contract.
