Many contractor documents contain language indicating that the job being presented to the consumer —and its pricing — is just an “estimate” or a “proposal.” These agreements usually go on to state that if the consumer signs the agreement, it is up to the contractor to “accept” the proposal, usually within 30 days, at which time the parties will be in a binding contract.

Many contractors say this type of language protects against an underpriced or mismeasured job or against unforeseen problems with the job that may cost them more time and money. All valid concerns, but there are three typical problems with this type of “estimate” language:

The contractor must communicate to the consumer that the estimate has been accepted. In many jurisdictions the contractor is required by law to countersign a copy of this type of estimate and return it to the consumer within a certain period of time.

This type of language often will assist your competitors in helping the consumer cancel your sale. Competitors will explain that consumers don't really have a contract, only an estimate they can get out of when they want to.

There is usually no need for this type of language in an agreement in the first place. It is rare for a contractor to try to get out of a contract and find the consumer unwilling to let them out.
