Howdy all, I've been doing low-cost handyman work in my business for the last several months. I just got licensed as a roofer and would like to get started in the business. However, I want to make sure I have a good contract prepared so that when I start getting clients, I can make sure I'm protected. What would you all recommend as a starting place? Do you have templates you've used for client contracts? Thanks in advance!
Congrats! Here's a link to all of our handyman templates & forms:

Thanks so much, ryaantuttle! I appreciate it.
Hello, if you're still looking for a contract sample, I'd be happy to share the one I've been using for the past three years. Our contracts are simple and straightforward, but they meet the minimum requirements mandated by the state. While I've come across more detailed and descriptive contracts, ours covers the essentials, and you can easily adjust it to align with your state's regulations.
For ours we partnered with our attorney! Make sure the requirements are met by the state. I recommend as an owner you that you think of potential pitfalls when roofing (broken pipes, bush damage, drywall cracks etc). After you come up with a good list of potential issues and profit drainers, START WORKING ON YOUR EXCLUSIONS to the contract to protect yourself.
