Free Drywall Finisher
Service Agreement
Chasing checks after a long day of sanding and taping is exhausting and erodes the professional respect you've earned on the job site.
Pro Contractor Tip
Ensure your drywall contract includes a 'Right to Stop Work' clause, explicitly stating that all labor and finishing will cease on Day 30 if progress payments are not cleared.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Drywall Finisher, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle a General Contractor who keeps promising the check is 'in the mail' while I'm still on-site?
Using a digital Dunning Engine removes the personal friction from these interactions. By letting automated robots handle the reminders and tracking, the GC understands that your billing process is systematic and professional, which often prioritizes your invoice over those chasing money manually.
Is it too aggressive to mention a stop-work order when I only have a few rooms left to finish?
It is about protecting your business's cash flow. An automated dunning system plays the 'bad cop' for you, escalating the urgency of notices based on your pre-set contract terms so you can stay focused on the craftsmanship without the awkwardness of manual confrontation.
What is the best way to prove that a client actually received my payment demands?
A digital Dunning Engine provides a complete, time-stamped audit trail of every notification sent and opened. This verifiable communication log is far more reliable than manual emails or phone calls if you ever need to prove your attempts to collect.
