Free Ornamental Ironworker
Service Agreement
One botched measurement on a custom spiral staircase means you’re eating five figures in scrap metal while a lawyer picks your pockets. If the client ghosts after the powder coat is cured, you’re left with a heavy pile of debt and zero leverage.
Pro Contractor Tip
Mandate a 'Non-Refundable Material Deposit' clause to ensure you aren't financing the client’s project with your own rent money.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Ornamental Ironworker, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The client wants to add 'just one more' handrail segment; how do I charge for it?
Never strike another arc without a signed Change Order; a written contract defines the original scope so any 'extras' are billed as new profit rather than free favors that kill your margin.
The job site isn't ready for install and I'm losing money sitting in the truck. What now?
A 'Site Readiness' clause in your agreement allows you to bill for mobilization fees and standby time, ensuring your crew gets paid even when the GC's schedule falls apart.
How do I stop the client from holding my final check because of a tiny scratch I didn't cause?
Include a 'Final Acceptance' sign-off in your contract that requires the client to inspect and approve the work upon installation, which triggers the final payment and ends your liability for on-site damage caused by other trades.
