How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review a Home Improvement Contract in California

In 2023, a personal client in California posted a project seeking assistance with a home improvement contract review. The client had signed a proposal for a new roofing installation but was concerned about the lack of a start or completion date, as well as the absence of a permit. After paying a deposit, the client attempted to cancel the agreement but was informed that the cancellation period had expired and materials had already been purchased. As a result, the client received two proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $395 to $650, all submitted to complete the work within the requested deadline of over a week.
