Free Countertop Installer
Service Agreement
One hairline fracture in a five-thousand-dollar slab turns your profit into a debt you'll be chasing for a year. If you don't have a signed paper trail, you're just a guy hauling heavy rocks for free while the homeowner's lawyer gears up to take your truck.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Site Readiness' clause so you can charge a dry-run fee if you show up and the cabinets aren't level or the old counters aren't ripped out.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Countertop Installer, "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 suddenly wants an extra waterfall edge after I've already cut the slab?
You don't touch that stone until they sign a Change Order; a written agreement ensures every extra inch of labor and material is billed at your premium rate, not 'thrown in' for free.
How do I handle a customer who refuses to pay because they don't like the natural veining in the granite?
You protect your cash by including a 'Natural Variation' disclaimer in your contract, proving they accepted that stone is a product of nature, not a factory-made toy.
The cabinets are out of level by an inch—do I just shim it and pray?
Never. Use your contract to dictate that sub-structures must meet industry tolerances before you install, or you're on the hook when that stone cracks under its own weight.
