Frequently Asked Questions

Why do residential remodels have the highest change order rates?

Remodeling deals with existing walls where hidden water damage, outdated wiring, or non-code framing are only exposed during demo.

Can a homeowner refuse to pay if the change order was verbal?

Yes. Most residential construction laws require all scope and price modifications to be signed in writing prior to performing extra work.
