Roofing Contract

Florida

I recently hired a roofing contractor to replace the roof on my home. We signed a contract that clearly outlined the scope of work, materials to be used, and the total cost. However, a few days before the project is scheduled to start, the contractor informed me that they need to make changes to the contract, including increasing the price due to unforeseen circumstances. I'm concerned about this sudden change and wondering if the contractor has the legal right to modify the terms of the contract after it has already been signed.

A roofing contractor can only change the terms of a contract if both parties agree to the changes in writing.

Courts will protect you from an illegal deal, but they will not protect you from an unwise deal. On its face, this is enforceable. However, I know Texas has some very strong consumer protection laws and a Texas attorney may be able to help you with that. You will need to speak directly to a Texas attorney. I'm in a neighboring state and not licensed there.
