Thank you for considering Even Steven Home Repair And Remodeling as a partner in the maintenance and improvement of your spaces and places! My promise to you is that all work will be performed diligently and professionally with your goals in mind. I strive for your satisfaction with the work. That begins with this agreement. Please feel free to ask questions!

1. Work Authorization:

Even Steven Home Repair and Remodeling (Even Steven) is hired by the client upon authorization to perform work and affirming receipt of this work agreement. The area(s) of the property where requested work is performed will be considered the work site. The client affirms that they have all rights and permissions to alter the property of the work site. Both the client and Even Steven retain the right to end this agreement and stop work at any time. The client agrees to grant continued access necessary to leave the site in a safe condition, as determined by Even Steven.

2. Site Condition and Access:

The client is responsible to provide prior notification of any known or suspected faults, defects or conditions of the property which could contribute to or result in injury to any person, or unplanned damage to any property. Access to the work site may be restricted while the job is underway, and physical barriers may be erected as part of the job. Even Steven is not responsible for harm or damage caused by unauthorized access to the work site.

3. Permits and Permissions:

The client is responsible for determining the necessity of work permits and permissions, and for obtaining permits and permissions prior to work beginning, unless obtaining such permit or permission is specified in the scope of work. Even Steven retains the right to deny services that do not comply with local regulations or best practices, or present a safety risk.

4. Acknowledgement of Estimate:

The customer acknowledges that provided estimates are not a quoted price for completion of the requested work. All reasonable efforts will be made to provide timely notice when costs are expected to be significantly more than the estimated costs. Unforeseen factors discovered during work (e.g. existing damage, buried objects, unforeseen adverse weather, etc.) may necessitate additional costs to complete the requested work or require stoppage of work prior to completion of the job.

Invoice payments are due upon receipt unless otherwise stated on the invoice. Down-payments will be applied to the first invoice for a job. Jobs may be invoiced in part and payments for work performed may be due prior to completion of a job.

6. Billable Hours and Costs:

Hourly labor rates may include minimums per visit and materials prices include a markup to cover overhead expenses and time worked.
