con·tract – definition

a mutually agreeable legally binding agreement, especially one concerning work for hire, that is intended to be enforceable by law.

Whether you are a property owner looking to do improvement work or a contractor looking to perform the work, having a mutually agreeable and understandable contract that protects both parties is essential. There are horror stories from both property owners about contractors and contractors about property owners.

Contract Keepers is an organization that solves this problem by providing an easy-to-understand and comprehensive contract between these two parties. It was developed by experienced individuals who understand contracting from the consumer side and the contractor side, and have sufficient legal knowledge to make it comprehensive for your needs.

Contract Keepers’ solution walks property owners through a question-and-answer process to build an agreement to their specific needs. Terms that are specific terms that are not acceptable to either party , they can be negotiated upfront. But they are identified and discussed, upfront, not after a dispute has arisen. That’s when problems arise, work and payment stops and arguments occur.

While we are providing mutual protection to both parties, we charge a flat fee of 3.99% of the value of the contract to the property owner for our service. The property owner then gets to decide basic terms of the agreement and has the luxury of understanding what they are agreeing to.

A successful property improvement project is more about clear communications, and mutual understanding of deliverables, payment schedules and quality satisfaction.
