How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Home Improvement Contract in New Jersey

In 2022, an individual in New Jersey posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a home improvement contract. The client faced challenges as the licensed contractor, who began a renovation project on their townhome, had provided an estimate but failed to deliver an official contract. As the project progressed, differing expectations emerged regarding the work to be completed, prompting the client to request a detailed scope of work attached to a formal contract, as well as a warranty and craftsmanship guarantee for the already completed phases. As a result, the client received one proposal from a licensed lawyer, with a flat fee bid of $1,500. This proposal was submitted in a timely manner, meeting the client’s deadline of one week.
