How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Home Improvement Contract in Michigan

In 2024, an individual in Michigan posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a home improvement contract. The client was planning to take out a substantial loan to finance the completion of the basement in their father’s home and wanted to ensure that the contract included provisions for repayment. Specifically, they requested terms that would guarantee they would receive at least the loan amount plus interest if the home were sold, or alternatively, that the property would be transferred into their name upon loan repayment. As a result, the client received four proposals from licensed attorneys, with flat fee bids ranging from $400 to $899, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than a week.
