Hi everyone, I would love to hear from you if you think a special agreement is required with a future renovation contractor…
Hi everyone, I would love to hear from you if you think a special agreement is needed with a remodeling contractor who will do cosmetic gun work on a rental property. The order of magnitude of his work is about 10 K or - can you just sign the quote with the payment stages? I don't know if it matters, but it's in the Philadelphia area.
And if you happen to have a short and simple agreement that I can see as an example, I would be very happy if you could share it with me. Many thanks!!
And another important item of insurance and licenses
For any work over $500, you must sign a contract and as they wrote before, it is better to get an exact breakdown of the nature of the work and the type of material. It is also important to have a breakdown of the material and price (if you want, for example, to upgrade a floor or a sink, then you can know the difference in price)
A detailed contract to the level of which sockets he will use and how many, how many tows and how many screws.
Obviously, contract and as we mentioned as much as possible. Cosmetic What Does It Mean? What is he going to do? Just paint? Breaking wall? Carpet changer? Bathtub? Only doing sidings? Cosmetic is a beautiful word with 1000 meanings.
You also need a field man or inspector to confirm that the work was done.
Successfully.
In Philadelphia? 10k's work? Even a contract that you sign with a lawyer won't help you if something goes wrong. You should work with recommendations and have someone credible on your behalf.
Rough Philadelphia and good contractors are occupied due to building momentum. Say their call and do not agree? Get another 5-10k to claim? Flying to court? Do you want a company collective to get the money out of it? Don't think it will, so the paper is not worth the signature.
Consult someone in the area not just friends who know what you need on paper.
What do you need him to do in 10k?
I would add penalty if not finished in timeframe. Most important, leave a large amount as final payment. They tend to start other big projects if only small amount is left on the balance.
Ask for a complete breakdown of the work he will be performing. Ask him to specify exactly who is responsible for purchasing materials, pulling permits (if applicable) and for an exact time frame to preform the job. DM me if you need more info or any other help.
