The customer is standing in a finished room saying it is not the colour they picked, and nothing was ever signed.
Tick the box above to continue. The button stays off until you do.
A painting estimate and service agreement with the four pages the commodity versions leave out: a 24-step surface-prep schedule and a coat count per room, an estimate broken out room by room and elevation by elevation, a colour and sheen sign-off sheet initialled row by row before a single wall is cut in, and a weather and cure-time page that says who calls off an exterior day and by what time. 1,018 fill-in blanks across 15 sections. It says nothing at all about lead-based paint rules, and Section 1.3 is sixteen questions with no answers, because whether they apply turns on the building, the area disturbed and the certification held, several states run their own programme, and the required customer notice is a published pamphlet rather than a paragraph.

What's inside
What lands in your inbox
You fill in the document itself and hand it on. The checklist is there so you do not leave a blank in it. Everything else is reference. Every file is a PDF you can type into on screen, or print and write on, so you need nothing else to use it.
The rest of the set
Businesses like yours usually start with these. It is where a trade starts, not a complete legal inventory of everything it could ever be asked for — no list on any website is that. Every line below says where it came from.

Your state can add to this. We have written down one place where this trade’s set differs from one state to the next. What we sell is written to the federal baseline, and a state that runs its own programme can ask for more than the federal rule does.

Questions
Section 6 has one row per room or elevation and surface, carrying the colour name, the code, the maker and line, and the sheen, initialled by the customer row by row before a wall is cut in. The customer then signs the whole schedule. A colour name without a code is not a colour, and the sheet says so.
Section 6.3 sets it in advance: the last moment a colour may change at no charge, the charge after that, the charge for repainting a surface already coated, whether a mixed custom colour is refundable, the effect on the completion date, and who may authorise a change.
Section 9.2 names who decides, by what time of day, how the customer is told and which forecast is the reference. Section 9.1 records the temperature, humidity, dew point and cure figures from the maker's own data sheet for the exact product, with the date it was read.
No. Section 1.3 is a page of questions with no answers, filled in per job before the price: the building's age, its use, who lives there and more. If a line makes you unsure, it tells you to stop and ask your own state programme or certifying body before you scrape anything.

These are the real rules this plan is built on. Every citation was read against the published text on the date shown above, and each link goes to the official source, not to a summary.
Exclusions
Before you buy
When the law behind this agreement moves, or a clause keeps causing an argument, we rewrite it and the new version lands in your account. You do not pay again. That applies to everyone who buys, member or not, for as long as we sell this document.
The files are yours the moment payment clears, so we do not give money back just because you no longer want them. You agree to that in the box above the button before you pay, not afterwards in small print.
If a file is the wrong one, will not open, is missing pages, or does not match what this page says, that is on us and we correct it at no cost, member or not. A version fitted to your business is either included with membership or $49 on its own. That promise is the reason the no-refund rule is fair.
Want this agreement edited to match how your business actually works? A non-member buys one tailored edit for $49, no membership needed, and it comes back within 2 business days. A Simply Current membership is $30/month and every fitted edit is included — it wins on the second edit.
One more time, plainly: this is a blank agreement and it is scoped to no state. Every state-specific figure in it is left blank for you to fill from your own, and whether what you write in holds is decided by your state's law, often your city's. Check yours before you rely on it.
