Free Stucco Plasterer
Service Agreement
One 'bad' texture match or a client who won't pay for the scaffolding rental can bleed your bank account dry before the brown coat even dries. If you don't have it in writing, you're just a guy working for free and begging for your own money.
Pro Contractor Tip
Include a 'Texture and Color Variation' clause to ensure you aren't held liable for the natural shading differences and minor hairline cracks inherent in hand-applied cementitious products.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Stucco Plasterer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
The customer keeps asking for 'small' extra patches outside the bid—how do I get paid for them?
Stop the mixer and get a signed Change Order before you move a muscle; a written contract draws a line in the sand that turns 'favors' into billable hours.
How do I keep from getting stiffed on the final payment while waiting for the stucco to cure?
Define 'Substantial Completion' in your contract as the moment the finish coat is applied, triggering final payment regardless of the 28-day full cure cycle.
What if the framing underneath is garbage and causes my work to crack later?
Use a 'Substrate Acceptance' clause that states you aren't responsible for cracks caused by settling or poor framing; if the bones are bad, the contract proves it ain't your funeral.
