Legal Question in Construction Law in New Jersey

Re: Contractor (Tile Work)/Service Agreement

The short answer is to hire a lawyer. If you want a standard contract that protects your interests structured the way that you want it, hire an attorney. This is their profession. As a Abraham Lincoln said "A lawyer's time and advice are his stock in trade�. This is the service you buy, just like when someone hires you to tile.

On the other hand, there are many form contracts avaialble commercially and through associations that generally set forth terms and allocate risks. However, if you really want to protect yourself, then hire a lawyer who knows this area.

While my firm does not handle contract drafting, I would be happy to refer you to someone who does.

Best wishes.

Re: Contractor (Tile Work)/Service Agreement

I have read what the other attorney wrote, and he is correct. If you want it done right, hire a professional who does this.

I do. Residential contracts, home improvement contracts in New Jersey, must be correctly and completely written up, to prevent problems for either the homeowner or for YOU. If you make changes, at extra expense, without a written agreement from the homeowner, you may end up NOT being able to get paid for the change!

If you would like, give me a call; I am in Hackensack (northern New Jersey). I will be happy to discuss

this with you; a brief telephone consultation will be free.
