As Jacksonville construction lawyers, we understand the importance of written agreements and want roofing contractors to know how to draft a strong contract. It all starts with understanding your customer and avoiding legal pitfalls. Visit Part 1 to learn about important components of a roofers contract agreement.
Customer Service is Key
The old adage, the customer is always right, still, rings true. Before drafting the contractor agreement, keep in mind what customers look for in a contractor and in a service agreement. Customers will typically want to know the following:
- If you’re licensed and experienced
- Where the company is located
- If you offer warranties
- If you have good references
- If you work with subcontractors
- If you have insurance
Avoid Legal Pitfalls
Keeping the customer first does not negate your right to look out for your best interest where potential legal problems are concerned. Working in the roofing industry can be tough so it’s in your best interest to make sure your business remains secure in the midst of the risk. For example, understanding mechanics’ lien law is vital for securing payments for the services and materials you provide during a project.
