Free Freelance Roofer
Service Agreement
One lawsuit over a leaky valley will strip your bank account faster than a hurricane rips off old cedar shakes. Without a signed contract, you're just a volunteer risking your house and your tools for a client who'll screw you the moment it rains.
Pro Contractor Tip
Insert a 'Hidden Damage' clause so you aren't stuck eating the cost of rotted decking and rafters discovered after the tear-off.
Why use a written agreement?
Handshake deals are risky. As a Freelance Roofer, "scope creep" is your biggest enemy. A clear agreement ensures everyone agrees on the deliverables before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do I do when a customer wants me to 'patch' a few extra spots for free while I'm up there?
You point at the 'Scope of Work' in your contract and tell them anything extra is a Change Order with a separate fee. If it isn't on the paper, your hammer doesn't move.
How do I make sure I'm not footing the bill for thousands of dollars in shingles?
Use a 'Material Deposit' clause requiring at least 50% upfront before a single bundle is delivered. You're a contractor, not a bank for the homeowner.
The homeowner is complaining about a dented gutter that was already there. How do I fix this?
Your contract should mandate a 'Pre-Work Inspection' with photos. When they see their signature next to a photo of the old damage, the conversation ends and you get paid.
