FAQ
Can I use this contract if the handyman provides both labor and materials?
Yes, these templates include sections to specify whether materials are provided by the handyman or the homeowner. Always list the exact items, brands, or costs to avoid ambiguity. For example, if the handyman supplies lighting fixtures, note their cost separately from labor.
What should I do if the handyman discovers additional work needed after starting the job?
Include a clause about change orders in the contract to outline how extra work will be handled—whether it’s approved in writing first, billed at a different rate, or requires a new agreement. This protects both parties from unexpected costs or delays.
Is it necessary to include a cancellation policy in a handyman contract?
Yes, especially for projects with deposits or prep work. Specify how much notice is required for cancellation, whether the deposit is refundable, or if there’s a fee for last-minute changes. This prevents misunderstandings if plans change before the job starts.
