Who This Is For

Who This Is NOT For

Real World Example

Here is a story I hear all the time.

You quote a bathroom remodel for $12,500. Customer agrees. You start demo. Then she walks in and says “oh while you are in here can you move that outlet” and “we decided to add a towel warmer” and “can you tile behind the toilet too.”

You say yes because you want the review. You want the referral. You do not want to be “that guy” who nickel and dimes.

But then the job takes 4 extra days. You are out $1,800 in materials and labor. And she does not even leave a review.

With this kit you have a Change Order Template ready. Customer wants to add something? Fine. You pull out the form. You write down what is being added. You write down the extra cost. She signs. Done.

No awkward conversations. No free work. No resentment.

Here Is What The Change Order Looks Like

How To Use This Kit In The Real World

Here is the simple version.

Step 1: Download everything. You get PDFs and Word docs. Pick whichever works for you.

Step 2: Customize the templates with your company info. Takes 30 minutes.

Step 3: Before you start any job, send the Scope of Work. Get it signed. Collect your deposit using the deposit request scripts.

Step 4: When the customer asks for changes, pull out the Change Order. Write it up. Get it signed. Add the cost.

Step 5: At the end of the job, use the Payment Protection Clauses in your final invoice. Get paid. Move on.

This is not complicated. It is just documentation. But documentation is what saves you when things go sideways.

Why This Works

1. Written agreements change the dynamic. When it is verbal the customer can say “I thought that was included.” When it is signed they cannot.

2. Deposits filter out bad customers. Someone who will not put 50% down is someone who will fight you on the final payment. The deposit request scripts make asking natural.

3. Change orders stop scope creep cold. You are not saying no. You are saying yes for a price. Big difference.

4. Payment clauses protect your leverage. The 10 copy paste clauses cover late fees, payment schedules, and what happens if they do not pay.

5. You have a system instead of winging it. Every job follows the same process. Estimate. Scope. Deposit. Change orders. Final invoice. Done.

Here Is A Sample Payment Protection Clause

Payment Clause #4: Work Stoppage

“If payment is not received within 7 calendar days of the scheduled due date, Contractor reserves the right to stop all work until payment is received in full. Any work stoppage due to non payment will not affect the agreed upon completion date or final contract amount. Customer remains responsible for all contracted work regardless of payment delays.”

You just copy and paste that into your contract. Done.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats are included?
PDF files you can print or view anywhere plus editable Word docs (.docx) so you can add your logo and company details.
Does this work for my trade?
Yes. The templates are trade neutral. Roofers, HVAC, plumbers, electricians, concrete, painters, remodelers, GCs. You fill in your specific trade and services.
How do the payment terms work?
Default structure is 50% deposit upfront and 50% at completion. For bigger jobs there is an optional 40/40/20 split: 40% deposit, 40% at midpoint, 20% at final walkthrough.
What if a customer refuses to sign a change order?
Then you do not do the extra work. That is the whole point. You are protected. If they want the add on they sign and pay. If they do not want to pay they do not get the work.
Will this hold up in court?
These templates are business tools not legal contracts. They create documentation that supports your position. For actual legal protection you should have a lawyer review your contracts for your state.
How fast is the download?
Instant. Complete checkout and you get the download link immediately. No waiting. No physical shipping.
Is there a refund policy?
This is a digital product. Once downloaded it cannot be returned. Please only purchase if you intend to use it. If you put in the effort these templates will save you thousands.
What job sizes is this designed for?
The examples use $5K to $50K price ranges. Most are in the $5K to $25K residential sweet spot. The templates work for smaller or larger jobs too.
Can I edit the templates?
Absolutely. The Word docs are fully editable. Change colors. Add your logo. Adjust the wording. Make them yours.
How is this different from contracts I can find online?
Generic contracts are written by lawyers for lawsuits. These templates are written by contractors for real jobs. The focus is on getting paid and stopping scope creep not legal jargon.
Do I need Word to use this?
You can use Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or any app that opens .docx files. The PDFs open in any browser or PDF reader.
What if I already use invoicing software?
Great. Keep using it. These templates work alongside any software you have. The scripts and clauses can be copied into any system.
Can my office manager use these?
Yes. Your purchase covers your company. Share with employees who need them. Just do not share outside your business.
