A ceiling came down two days after the visit, and nothing on paper showed the stain was already there.
Tick the box above to continue. The button stays off until you do.
The paperwork for one plumbing job, from the knock at the door to the signed invoice: a 35-line condition survey filled in before a tool comes out of the van, a 20-line itemized estimate signed before work starts, a 44-line scope including who makes good after a wall is opened, a permit-responsibility page that assigns who applies and who pays without pretending to know what your town requires, an emergency and after-hours rate disclosure signed at the door, a workmanship warranty that keeps three promises apart, a pre-existing condition and water-damage limitation, a change-order log, an invoice and a completion walkthrough. 1,042 fill-in blanks across 16 sections. It never states which work needs a permit, and it carries no code, standard, size, pressure or test procedure of any kind. It cites no regulation.

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.
Showing what a plumbing contractor is asked to carry. It is the only trade on our list that needs this document.

Your state can add to this. We have written down two places 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 3 is a 35-line condition survey filled in before a tool comes out of the van, with a photograph reference and a customer-told column on every line, confirmed by the customer. Section 9 builds on it: what was already failing, which items you warned might fail when the system is disturbed, and whether the customer chose to proceed.
Section 7 is a rate disclosure the customer acknowledges at the door: normal hours, standard, evening, overnight, weekend and holiday rates, the emergency call-out charge, minimum hours, and what counts as an emergency in your own words. Every figure is a blank you fill in once for your business.
Section 5.1 settles it before the work: what you will open, the standard you leave an opening to, whether plastering, tiling, painting or flooring is included, who arranges any trade you do not do, whether matching a finish is promised, and who pays for one that cannot be matched.
No. It never states which work needs a permit. Section 6 assigns who applies and who pays, and records the question asked, the person who answered, the date and the reference number.

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.
