Free Carpet Installer
Service Agreement
One 'forgotten' subfloor repair or a client who ghosts your final invoice will gut your margins faster than a dull utility blade. Without a signed agreement, you’re just a guy with a knee kicker waiting to get bled dry by a homeowner who thinks your labor is a suggestion.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Subfloor Contingency' clause to ensure you get paid extra the moment you rip up old pad and find a rotted-out disaster you didn't bid for.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Carpet Installer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The client expects me to move their heavy-ass furniture for free. How do I stop this?
If it isn't listed in the 'Furniture Handling' section of your contract, don't touch it. A written scope protects your back and your wallet by making it clear that moving heavy items is a premium service with a premium price tag.
What happens if I find mold or water damage under the old carpet?
You stop work and point to your 'Pre-existing Conditions' clause. A solid contract dictates that any unforeseen structural issues require a signed Change Order for extra labor and materials before you pull another staple.
The customer is stalling on the final check because they 'need to live with it' for a week. How do I get paid?
This is why your contract needs a 'Payment on Completion' clause. Having it in writing means the check is due the moment the last transition is hammered in, giving you the leverage to stay on-site until the debt is settled.
