The parties will sign a written change order before changed work begins. It must describe the added or removed work, price effect, and schedule effect. An insurance estimate or supplement does not change this Contract by itself.
CONTRACTOR WILL HOLD IN TRUST ANY PAYMENT FROM OWNER UNTIL CONTRACTOR HAS DELIVERED ROOFING MATERIALS AT THE PROPERTY OR PERFORMED A MAJORITY OF THE ROOFING WORK AT THE PROPERTY.
3. Cancellation and deposit refund
Owner may rescind this Contract within 72 hours after entering it and obtain a full refund of any deposit. Owner may send written cancellation to Contractor at the physical address or email stated above. Contractor's policy for any other cancellation and deposit refund is: [DESCRIBE POLICY, SUBJECT TO THE STATUTORY RIGHTS BELOW].
If this work is to be paid from proceeds of a covered property and casualty insurance policy, Owner may also rescind within 72 hours after receiving written notice that the insurer denied the roofing claim in whole or in part. The latter right does not apply to denial of a supplemental roofing-services claim where the need for those services could not reasonably have been foreseen as necessary and related at the initial inspection or signing. For this insurance-denial rescission, Owner may give written notice electronically, by prepaid U.S. mail to Contractor's physical address above, or by personal delivery there. Electronic notice is effective when transmitted, mail when deposited, and personal notice when delivered.
After a valid insurance-denial rescission, Contractor will return payments, deposits, or evidence of Owner's indebtedness within 10 days, except the amount permitted for roofing work actually performed in a workmanlike manner. Any claim for installed materials is limited to the applicable law. The parties may use the cancellation notice at the end of this Contract.

Insurance-funded work? ☐ Yes ☐ No Insurer and claim number, if yes: [NAME; NUMBER]
If Owner plans to use property and casualty insurance proceeds for this work, Contractor cannot pay, waive, rebate, or promise to pay, waive, or rebate any part of Owner's insurance deductible. Contractor will not claim to act as a public insurance adjuster; Contractor may discuss the repair scope with the insurer on Owner's behalf while this valid contract is in place.
5. Completion and agreed warranty
Contractor will notify Owner when the work is complete and provide [PHOTOS / PERMIT CLOSEOUT / MATERIAL RECORDS / OTHER] as agreed. Owner may identify incomplete or nonconforming work in writing at [EMAIL OR ADDRESS]. Contractor will address agreed items within [NUMBER] days or a documented weather or material extension.

A contract is a written record of what two or more parties agreed to and what happens if someone does not follow through. Clear language, defined terms, and clean signature blocks keep disputes small and enforceable. The most common mistakes in contracts come from vague promises, missing details about timing or payment, and skipping standard protective clauses like governing law and dispute resolution.
