3. Quotes & Estimates
All quotes provided by Home Comfort Build are based on information available at the time of estimation, including the client's stated requirements, site conditions, material costs, and labor rates. Quotes are valid for 30 days from the date of issue unless otherwise specified.
Initial estimates may be approximate. A binding fixed-price proposal will be issued following an on-site consultation. Home Comfort Build reserves the right to revise quotes if:
- Hidden structural, electrical, plumbing, or hazardous conditions are discovered during work.
- The client requests changes to the scope, materials, or design after contract signing.
- Material costs increase beyond our control (a written change order will be issued).
- Permit fees or inspection requirements exceed initial estimates.
4. Project Contracts
Every renovation project is governed by a written contract that includes the scope of work, project schedule, payment schedule, materials list, warranty terms, and other project-specific provisions. In the event of any conflict between these Terms and a project contract, the project contract shall prevail for that specific project.
The client must sign the contract and pay the required deposit before any work commences or materials are ordered. Work is scheduled only after both requirements are fulfilled.
5. Payment Terms
5.1 Deposit
A non-refundable deposit of 25%–35% of the total contract value is required to secure your project date and order materials. The exact deposit percentage will be specified in your contract.
5.2 Progress Payments
For projects exceeding $10,000, payments are typically structured as follows:
- 25%–35% deposit upon contract signing
- 30% upon completion of demolition and rough-in work
- 25% upon installation of major materials and finishes
- 10%–20% final payment upon project completion and client walkthrough
5.3 Late Payments
Invoices are due within 7 days of issuance. Late payments may incur a 1.5% monthly finance charge (18% annually). Home Comfort Build reserves the right to pause work on any project with overdue invoices.
5.4 Financing
For clients utilizing our financing partners, all loan terms are governed by the lender's agreement. Home Comfort Build is not a lender and is not responsible for loan approvals, interest rates, or lender decisions.
6. Warranty & Guarantees
Home Comfort Build offers the following warranties on our workmanship:
- Essential Package: 2-year workmanship warranty

Warranties cover defects in workmanship and installation performed by Home Comfort Build. They do not cover:

- Damage caused by client misuse, neglect, or modification
- Acts of God, natural disasters, fires, floods, or weather events
- Manufacturer defects (covered under the manufacturer's warranty)
- Work performed by third-party contractors not affiliated with Home Comfort Build
Warranty claims must be submitted in writing within the warranty period. We will repair or replace defective workmanship at no cost to the client.
7. Change Orders
Any changes to the agreed scope of work must be documented in a written Change Order signed by both the client and a Home Comfort Build representative. Change Orders may affect the project price and timeline. Verbal requests for changes will not be honored unless subsequently documented in writing.
If the client requests additional work not included in the original contract, Home Comfort Build will provide a written estimate for the additional work. Work commences only after the Change Order is signed and any additional deposit is paid.
8. Cancellation & Refunds
8.1 Cancellation by Client
If you cancel your project before work begins, the deposit is non-refundable to cover administrative costs, design work, and materials ordered. If materials have already been ordered, you are responsible for those costs.
If cancellation occurs after work has commenced, you are responsible for all work performed and materials purchased up to the cancellation date, plus a 15% cancellation fee on the remaining contract value.
8.2 Cancellation by Home Comfort Build
We reserve the right to cancel a project if the client breaches the contract, fails to make payments, or engages in abusive or unsafe behavior. In such cases, the client remains responsible for work completed and materials purchased.
