THE PROBLEM

Most Contractor Contracts Favor the Contractor

Standard contractor agreements are drafted by contractors or their attorneys. They're designed to limit the contractor's liability, maximize their flexibility, and minimize your leverage if something goes wrong.

Without legal or construction expertise, homeowners sign contracts with gaps, vague language, and missing protections that cost them dearly when disputes arise.

Key Risks

  • Missing or vague scope-of-work descriptions lead to change order disputes
  • Unfair payment schedules can leave you paying for incomplete work
  • Missing warranty clauses leave you with no recourse for defective work
  • One-sided termination clauses make it nearly impossible to fire a bad contractor

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

"The contract review found that the contractor's warranty was only 30 days. That's practically nothing. TaDow helped me negotiate a full one-year warranty."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a contract review take?

Standard reviews are completed within 2-3 business days. If you need the review + negotiation support, allow 5-7 business days for the full process.

Can you review contracts for any type of project?

Yes. We review contracts for renovations, additions, decks, patios, hardscaping, flooring, roofing, and any other residential construction project.

What if the contractor won't accept changes?

We'll help you understand which terms are non-negotiable red flags versus industry-standard language. If a contractor refuses reasonable protections, that's a warning sign worth heeding.

Do I need a lawyer for contract review?

Our review covers construction-specific terms, industry standards, and practical risk assessment. For complex legal disputes, we may recommend consulting an attorney, but most homeowners find our review sufficient for making informed decisions.
