Terms of Service

1. Timeline & Proposal Validity

This pricing is valid for fourteen (14) days from the date of issuance unless stated otherwise in the proposal. Project start and completion dates are estimated projections. Delays due to weather, material availability, municipal permit processing, or official inspection scheduling are outside the Contractor's control.

2. Scope of Work, Hidden Conditions & Change Orders

This Agreement is strictly limited to the craftsmanship and materials detailed in the accepted quote/proposal. It excludes underlying structural corrections or remediation of latent defects (e.g., mold, water damage, or past non-code work). If hidden conditions are discovered during demolition or construction, operations on that section will pause, and no additional labor or cost changes will occur without a written Change Order approved by both Parties.

3. Client Material Procurement & Site Readiness

The Client agrees to clear the work site of personal and valuable belongings prior to project commencement. Failure to remove items requiring 2 or more individuals to move will delay timelines and incur a $150.00 labor charge. Clients purchasing their own materials must arrange prompt procurement and delivery. If the Client requests the Contractor to retrieve client-purchased materials, a $150.00 procurement fee applies per trip. If Contractor funds are used to purchase Client materials due to payment delays, a 10% administrative surcharge will be added to the purchase total.

4. Payment Terms, Late Fees & Work Suspension

Deposit: Due within 3 days of signing/acceptance.

Final Payment: Due within 1 business day of passing the Municipal Subcode Final Inspection, or upon signing the Walkthrough Sign-off / beginning beneficial use of the space.

Late Fees & Interest Rates

• Overdue Consumer Balances: Incur interest at 1.33% per month (15.96% per annum) starting the day after the due date, plus a $150.00 administrative fee if unpaid past 10 days.
• Overdue Business/LLC Balances: Incur interest at 2.00% per month (24.00% per annum) starting the day after the due date, plus a $300.00 administrative fee if unpaid past 10 days.

Work Suspension & Legal Recovery

Nonpayment allows the Contractor to suspend work upon 7 days' written notice, and terminate after 14 days of continued nonpayment, pursuant to the New Jersey Prompt Payment Act. The prevailing party in any legal collection action is entitled to recover all reasonable attorney's fees, court costs, and collection agency fees.

5. Cancellation, Termination & Right of Access

If the Client cancels this agreement after the 3-day statutory rescission window, the deposit is non-refundable as liquidated damages for planning and reserved scheduling. The Client remains liable for all work completed, site preparation, and materials ordered/wasted up to termination, plus a $250.00 daily management fee for each day of active project scheduling since inception. Upon cancellation or termination, the Client must grant the Contractor site access within 24 hours to retrieve all company tools, equipment, and uninstalled materials.

6. Warranties & Marketing Permissions

The Contractor provides a 12-Month Workmanship Warranty from the date of substantial completion, active upon full final payment. Coverage applies to installation defects via professional remediation and excludes normal wear-and-tear, abuse, or faulty material quality (manufacturer material warranties pass directly to the Client). The Client grants permission for the Contractor to place temporary job-site marketing banners and capture photo/video media for portfolio marketing and warranty tracking.

7. Mandatory Consumer Notices & Final Acceptance Release

NOTICE TO CONSUMER: YOU, THE BUYER, MAY CANCEL THIS TRANSACTION AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO MIDNIGHT OF THE THIRD BUSINESS DAY AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS TRANSACTION. ANY CANCELLATION MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE CONTRACTOR IN WRITING. IF YOU CANCEL WITHIN THIS PERIOD, ANY PAYMENTS MADE BY YOU WILL BE RETURNED WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS FOLLOWING RECEIPT BY THE CONTRACTOR OF YOUR CANCELLATION NOTICE.

Submitting final payment, issuing final payment funds, or beginning beneficial use/occupancy of the work area constitutes the Client’s formal acknowledgment that all agreed scope of work and punch-list items have been completed satisfactorily and in accordance with the contract. Final payment operates as a full release of claims regarding visible defects, scope completion, and project timeline. This release does not affect or waive the Client’s rights under the Contractor’s 12-Month Workmanship Warranty or applicable manufacturer warranties.
