Note: This contract was signed with a contractor who had previously done well on projects of similar scope. There are MANY potential issues that are not covered in this proposal. For example, nothing is said about when the work will be completed. The average homeowner, dealing with a contractor they have not used before should insist on a much more complete agreement.
