6 Things You Should Know Before Signing a Foundation Repair Contract

As with any other work on your home, foundation repair should always be done using a contract. A contract describes what is expected of the service provider, what your recourse is when things don't work out as planned, and what the repair work will cost and how long it will take.

Below are six things you should look for in a contract:

1. Look for a complete description of the work to be done. This includes the number of foundation supports, the type of foundation supports, and additional services such as engineer's reports and permits..
2. Be sure the project's total cost is explicitly defined and accounted for.
   
3. Make sure you have a payment schedule. This way, there'll be no questions as to how much is due when.
4. The warranty: This should be simple to understand and the same in nature as that which was presented to you initially.
5. Make sure the contract describes who is responsible for removing debris and cleaning the site after the work is done.
   
6. Ensure the contractor's full name, address, phone number, and other contact information is accurate and up-to-date.

Remember, never sign a blank contract, no matter what. Any reputable and professional company will have their paperwork ready and complete before you sign it. If changes must be made, they will amend the contract and present it to you again. Finally, keep a copy of the signed contract for your records.
