About a year ago I worked on a house and the customer told me about a roofer she once hired. She said they got into a huge argument at the end of the job over who owned a couple square of cedar shingles that were left over.
Well recently a friend sent me a copy of his “Terms and Conditions” to peruse. One of his “terms” reads – “Buyer agrees that extra materials on the job that are nor required under this contract are the property of the seller and must be returned to the seller on completion of the contract.”
I think that’s a great clause that might not be obvious until someone has a bad experience over this issue. What are some clauses you have in your standard contract that could help a fledging contractor avoid problems? Thanks – Jim
