Before Work Begins

Client Protections

You should understand the work, the price, and who is responsible for each part of the job. Here’s what we review and document with you.

Before Work Starts

Know What You’re Agreeing To

Contractor Credentials

Our registration and license numbers are listed above. You can ask us for current copies and proof of insurance when discussing your project.

Written Contract

Before work starts, we put the agreed scope, contract terms, and payment schedule in writing for review and signature.

What Your Estimate Includes

Your estimate explains the work and price, what is excluded, and any allowances set aside for materials you haven’t chosen yet.

Permits and Inspections

We identify the permits and inspections needed for the job and coordinate them with the trades involved.

Written Change Orders

If you request a change or we uncover additional work, we put the proposed cost and timing in writing for your approval.

Site Protection

We discuss access, the areas that need protection, and whether the property will be occupied during construction.

Your Project Contact

Before work begins, confirm who to contact and how you’ll receive updates. During construction, we discuss the schedule, material selections, and questions from the jobsite.

Cleanup

We plan debris removal and cleanup around the job, including where materials can be stored and how waste will leave the property.

Final Walkthrough

Near completion, we walk through the work with you and make a list of any items still to finish.

Warranty and Project Records

Review Warranty Terms With Your Contract

Ask which workmanship and product warranties apply to your project, what they cover, and how to request service. Review those terms with your contract and keep the relevant product documents.

Keep your estimate, signed contract, approved changes, and final project documents together so they are easy to refer to later.
