Can we talk about the $500 handshake deal that almost sank my spring planting season
Two years ago I did a $3,200 patio and planting job for a neighbor in Boise on a handshake and a text thread, and when he decided the shrubs were "too small" he stopped answering and I had no signed change order to point to. After that mess I started using a one page service agreement from a legal template site, and last month it saved me when a client tried to add 40 feet of fencing two days before the crew showed up. For the folks running small service businesses, do you send a real contract for jobs under $5k or just confirm the scope over email?
