Free Custom Furniture Builder
Service Agreement
One 'change of heart' on a custom walnut slab eats your profit and leaves you holding a two-thousand-dollar lumber bill. Without a solid paper trail, you're just a guy with a pile of expensive firewood and a hole in his bank account.
Pro Contractor Tip
Always include a 'Non-Refundable Material Deposit' clause to ensure your lumber costs are covered the second you fire up the saw.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Custom Furniture Builder, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when a client wants to change the dimensions after I've already cut the tenons?
You point to your 'Change Order' clause and tell them it's going to cost extra for time and wasted stock; if it ain't in writing, you're working for free.
How do I make sure I'm not chasing a check for three months after delivery?
Demand a 50% deposit upfront and the remaining balance upon delivery before that piece even touches their floor, backed by a clear payment schedule in your contract.
The client is complaining about a knot in the wood they didn't see in the 3D sketch. Now what?
Your contract needs a 'Natural Variation' disclaimer stating that wood is a living material; use it to shut down nitpicking before they try to withhold your final payment.
