Terms & Conditions

1. Scope of Work – Services are limited to the items expressly listed in the

accompanying estimate (“Work”). Any additional labor or materials requested by

Client constitute a change order and require written approval with possible price

and schedule adjustments.

2. Site Access & Utilities – Client shall provide safe, unobstructed access to the work

area and furnish electricity, water, and sanitary facilities at no cost to The Handy

Dads LLC. Delays caused by restricted access may result in additional charges.

3. Material Selection & Substitution – Unless otherwise stated, The Handy Dads

LLC will supply standard-grade materials. Where specified items are unavailable,

The Handy Dads LLC may substitute materials of equal or greater quality at its

discretion and at no additional cost to Client.

4. Hidden Conditions – Quoted prices assume normal conditions. Discovery of

concealed plumbing, wiring, structural defects, mold, asbestos, lead paint, or other

hazardous materials may require work stoppage. The Handy Dads LLC will notify

Client and provide a revised estimate; Client is responsible for all costs associated

with remediation or altered work.

5. Permits & Code Compliance – Client is responsible for obtaining all required

permits unless the estimate explicitly states that The Handy Dads LLC will do so.

The Handy Dads LLC warrants that Work performed will meet applicable codes as

of the completion date; no warranty is made as to existing non-compliant

conditions.

6. Schedule & Delays – Project start and completion dates are estimates. The Handy

Dads LLC is not liable for delays arising from weather, supply chain interruptions,

inspections, or events beyond its reasonable control.

7. Payment Terms – Unless otherwise agreed in writing, payment is due as follows:

50% deposit upon acceptance, balance due immediately upon substantial

completion. Past-due amounts accrue interest at 1.5% per month (or the maximum

allowed by law). Client agrees to pay all collection costs, including reasonable

attorneys’ fees. A 2.9% processing fee will be added to all payments made by

credit or debit card. A 1% fee will be added for ACH (electronic bank transfer)

payments. To avoid processing fees, Client may pay by check, money order, or cash

when agreed in advance.

8. Limited Warranty – The Handy Dads LLC warrants labor for 12 months and 

materials per manufacturer’s warranty. No warranty applies if site conditions 

are not ideal (e.g., moisture, structural issues), or if The Handy Dads LLC is not

contracted for the full project. Warranty excludes normal wear, abuse,

neglect, acts of God, or repairs altered by others. WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN

LIEU OF ALL OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES.

9. Limitation of Liability – MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF THE HANDY DADS LLC

(INCLUDING ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND SUBCONTRACTORS) FOR ANY

NO EVENT SHALL THE HANDY DADS LLC BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL,

CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

10.Indemnification – Client shall indemnify and hold harmless The Handy Dads LLC

from all claims, damages, or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising out of

hazardous materials present on site or Client’s breach of this agreement.

11.Insurance – The Handy Dads LLC maintains general liability and workers’

compensation coverage as required by state law. Certificates available on request.

12. Termination – Either party may terminate for material breach after 5 calendar days’

written notice and failure to cure. Client shall pay for all Work completed plus

proven costs directly attributable to termination.

13.Governing Law & Dispute Resolution – This agreement is governed by the laws of

the state where the Work is performed. Parties agree to attempt mediation prior to

litigation; venue for any action shall be the county where the project is located.

14.Severability & Entire Agreement – If any provision is held unenforceable, the

remainder remains in effect. This document and accompanying estimate constitute

the entire agreement; no oral statements or prior writings are binding unless signed

by both parties.

15.Cancellation Policy – Cancellations made less than 48 hours before the scheduled

start time of work are subject to a cancellation fee equal to 10% of the total

estimated job cost. This fee covers scheduling, labor reservation, and

administrative costs. Cancellations must be submitted in writing (email or text is

acceptable) and acknowledged by The Handy Dads LLC.

16.Photo Release Disclaimer – Client acknowledges and agrees that The Handy

Dads LLC may take photos or videos of the work site before, during, and after

completion of services. These images may be used for marketing, portfolio, social

media, or website content. No identifying information such as names, addresses, or

personal details will be disclosed without explicit permission.

17. Assessment Fee Policy – If a $75 assessment visit is completed and no project 

contract is signed within 30 days, an invoice for the $75 will be issued and due upon 

receipt. If a contract is signed, the assessment fee will be waived or applied toward 

the total cost.

18. No Refund Policy – Due to the nature of home services and labor-based work, 

all payments are final and non-refundable. We are committed to resolving concerns 

within the scope of the original agreement, but refunds will not be issued under any circumstances.
