Any time you are buying, selling, building, or remodeling a home, an attorney should review the contract for your legal protection. We can identify unfavorable terms and bad contracts, negotiate more fair terms, ensure compliance with legal requirements, clarify the scope of work, review payment terms, assess insurance and liability provisions, provide dispute resolution provisions, establish clear rules for change orders, warranties, and guarantees, and research the contractor's reputation. Having legal representation levels the playing field and ensures that a homeowner's rights and interests are protected. Trust us - the last thing you should do is just sign a contractor's contract (especially if it is a Texas Association of Builders (TAB) contract.
