Free Tile Setter
Service Agreement
Stop wasting your time playing phone tag and feeling like a bill collector instead of a master craftsman.
Pro Contractor Tip
Explicitly state in your initial contract that progress payments are 'milestone-contingent' and that failure to pay within 7 days of a milestone triggers an immediate stop-work order on all setting and grouting.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Tile Setter, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

2. Scope of Services
The Contractor shall provide the following deliverables:
- Subject: Follow-up: Invoice #[Number] for [Project Name] Hi [Client Name], I hope the new tile installation is meeting your expectations. I’m reaching out because our records show that invoice #[Number] is now a few days past its due date. We know things can get hectic during a renovation, so I wanted to send this quick reminder to ensure the invoice didn't get lost in the shuffle. Could you please confirm a timeline for payment today? Best regards, [Your Name] [Your Company Name]
- Subject: URGENT: Overdue Payment for [Project Name] - Invoice #[Number] Hi [Client Name], We have not yet received payment for invoice #[Number], which is now 15 days past due. As outlined in our signed agreement, timely payments are necessary for us to maintain our project schedule and cover material costs. Please settle the outstanding balance of [Amount] within the next 24 hours to keep your account in good standing and avoid any late fee assessments. You can pay securely via the link below. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. Best, [Your Name] [Your Company Name]
- Subject: FINAL NOTICE: Stop-Work Order & Outstanding Balance Hi [Client Name], Despite multiple reminders, your account is now 30 days past due. This is a formal notice that, per our contract terms, we are placing an immediate stop-work order on your project. No further labor—including grouting, sealing, or finishing work—will be performed, and your current slot on our production calendar has been forfeited until the balance is cleared in full. If payment is not received by [Date], we will be forced to escalate this to a formal collections process and/or file a mechanic's lien to protect our interests. Please remit payment immediately to resolve this. [Your Name] [Your Company Name]

Frequently Asked Questions
How can I stop the 'awkwardness' of asking for money while I'm still on the job site?
Using a digital dunning engine removes the personal friction. When an automated robot sends the reminders, you remain the professional craftsman on-site, while the system handles the objective, firm task of budget enforcement and payment collection.
What should I do if a client promises to pay at the end of the month instead of my 15-day terms?
An automated dunning system helps you stick to your guns. It consistently references your signed terms regardless of the client's story. This ensures you aren't treated like a bank, providing an interest-free loan while you wait for your hard-earned money.
Is a stop-work order too aggressive for a residential tile project?
It is a standard business protection. By using automated messaging to signal these milestones, you provide a clear, professional warning system that triggers based on data, not emotion. This protects your cash flow and ensures you aren't laying expensive materials on a project that won't pay out.
