Signing the Contract
It is important to remember that anything you sign may constitute a
contract, so be sure you know what you are signing. Before you sign a final contract, be sure it includes
the following information and provisions.
the name, street address (not just a post office box), and local telephone number (not just a toll-free number) of the contractor;
a written description of all work to be done, including a detailed description of the kind and quality of materials to be used;
Estimated starting and completion dates;
the schedule for releasing payments to the contractor;
a written statement reiterating any oral promises made by the contractor, including any warranties on materials or labor;
