Free Concrete Finisher
Service Agreement
One bad pour without a signed paper turns a $5,000 profit into a $10,000 lawsuit when the client refuses to pay for 'hairline cracks.' If you don't lock down the terms before the mud hits the ground, you're just volunteering your back and your bank account for free.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Subgrade Acceptance' clause to ensure you aren't held liable for structural failures caused by the client's poor soil preparation.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Concrete Finisher, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens if the client asks for an extra patio section while the trucks are already spinning?
Don't touch a shovel until they sign a Change Order. A written agreement defines the exact square footage, so any 'extra' work is a separate billable event that protects your margins.
How do I deal with a customer who won't pay because the color looks 'slightly off'?
You use a Variance Clause. Putting in writing that concrete color varies by batch stops picky clients from withholding your final check over natural material behavior.
The site wasn't ready when I showed up with my crew; am I just out that labor cost?
Only if you're a rookie. A solid contract includes a 'Standby Fee' or 'Dry Run' charge that forces the client to respect your schedule and covers your crew's wasted time.
