  The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) advises consumers to obtain and keep a copy of a written contract when interacting with contractors. Contracts may include:

  •“the contractor’s name, address, phone, and license number (if required)
  •an estimated start and completion date
  •the payment schedule for the contractor, subcontractors, and suppliers
  •the contractor’s obligation to get all necessary permits
  •how change orders are handled. A change order is a written authorization to the contractor to make a change or addition to the work described in the original contract, and could affect the project’s cost and schedule.
  •a detailed list of all materials including each product’s color, model, size, and brand. If some materials will be chosen later, the contract should say who’s responsible for choosing each item and how much money is budgeted for it (this is also known as the “allowance”).
  •information about warranties covering materials and workmanship, with names and addresses of who is honoring them — the contractor, distributor, or manufacturer. The length of the warranty period and any limitations also should be spelled out.
  •what the contractor will and won’t do. For example, is site clean-up and trash hauling included in the price? Ask for a "broom clause" that makes the contractor responsible for all clean-up work, including spills and stains.
  •any promises made during conversations or calls. If they don’t remember, you may be out of luck — or charged extra.
  •a written statement of your right to cancel the contract within three business days if you signed it in your home or at a location other than the seller’s permanent place of business”.
