Legal Question in Consumer Law in North Carolina

Is this contract legally binding? A roofing company filled out a damage report and damage assessment for my home. The agreement states: "This agreement is subject (Pending) to the approval of the property Insurance Carrier approval of storm damage. I (Property Owner) Hire Allphase Exteriors Inc. as my Consultant/Contractor To negotiate property damage with my insurance carrier to above stated address. I agree to allow Allphase Exteriors Inc. To complete all prescribed repairs at prices negotiated by my insurance carrier and Allphase Exteriors Inc. with no additional cost except my insurance deductible. Allphase Exteriors Inc. Agrees to act in the best interest of the property owner in appropriating damages with insurance carrier. Upon approval from insurance carrier, a material contract (addendum) will follow in which the property owner will pick material. Comparable or Upgraded materials will be used for all stated repairs. Allphase Exteriors Inc. Agrees to act in a timely and professional manner. Upon authorizing this agreement, the property owner agrees with all duties herein." I signed this agreement on 8-29-2012. I reside in NC. No estimate or dollar amounts were given to me.

Yes, this is a binding agreement assuming both parties signed/agreed to it. Assuming this is the entire agreement, there doesn't seem to be anythign preventing either party from terminating the agreement. If you did sign this agreement and are concerned you will be overcharged, you need to speak to them about this. The agreement does state that you will only be responsible for the deductible. IF you choose the cancell, you should do so quickly, before they incur expenses.
