Writing contracts that comply with law in your state isn't easy. A contract that doesn't comply could leave you with no way to collect. You need contracts that:

  • Fit your jobs exactly,
  • Anticipate the most likely disputes,
  • Resolve key issues in your favor.

Most contractors use boilerplate contracts. That's a mistake. One size does not fit all jobs and reflects a lack of professional savvy on your part. Doing business on a handshake or on notes scribbled on an envelope is worse -- likely to earn an invitation from the state license board.

Now there's a better way. Write perfect contracts in minutes by answering interview questions:

  • No legal background needed.
  • Favor either the contractor or the owner. Your choice.
  • Contracts as detailed or as simple as the job requires.

If you get stuck, click the "Get Help From an Attorney" button. You'll have an answer in 24 hours. No charge. No limit.
Take control of the contract drafting process and you control the bottom line.
