Free Masonry Contractor
Service Agreement
One bad batch of mortar or a client who 'forgets' the checkbook leaves you eating five figures in material costs while your crew walks. Stop financing their patio with your kids' college fund and a prayer or you'll be selling your mixers just to cover the lawsuit.
Pro Contractor Tip
Always include a 'Hidden Obstructions' clause so you aren't footing the bill when your backhoe hits an undocumented septic tank or solid granite.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Masonry Contractor, "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 a decorative arch mid-build; how do I handle the extra work without getting stiffed?
Stop the trowel and get a signed Change Order before you move a single brick. Your contract defines the original scope, and this paper trail ensures you get paid for the extra labor and specialty cuts instead of it being 'thrown in for free.'
I'm sick of waiting 45 days for the final check while I've already paid my mudders. How do I get paid faster?
Set up a Progress Payment schedule tied to physical milestones, like 'Wall Topped Out.' A written agreement makes it clear that the scaffold doesn't come down until the milestone check hits your hand, keeping the leverage in your court.
The stone arrived with color variations and the homeowner is refusing to pay. Am I liable?
Not if you use a Material Approval clause. Make them sign off on a sample board before delivery; that signature in your contract proves they accepted the natural variance, protecting you from eating the cost of a teardown.
