Using a Counter Top Installation Agreement clarifies responsibilities, prevents scope creep, and documents payment and warranty terms. A clear contract reduces disputes, speeds resolution of change orders, and provides enforceable remedies for delays, defects, or unpaid balances.
Typical users include homeowners, general contractors, fabricators, and commercial property managers overseeing countertop projects.
The agreement suits both single-project residential jobs and repeat commercial installations; tailor sections for permits, access, and warranty demands by client type.
A property owner who orders countertops, approves material samples, provides site access, and authorizes final payment. The owner should confirm measurements, review change orders, and keep records of payments and approvals to enforce warranty and defect remedies if needed.
A licensed installer or contracting firm responsible for manufacturing, delivering, and installing the countertop per specifications. The contractor must obtain permits, maintain insurance, follow building codes, and document deviations or delays in writing to preserve contractual protections.
Define exact services: fabrication, template, delivery, site prep, removal of old countertop, finishing, and cleanup. State specific exclusions such as plumbing, electrical, or structural repairs unless those tasks are included via separate change orders to avoid ambiguity.
Specify material type, slab selection, color lot, thickness, seam placement, sink cutouts, edge profile, adhesive, and acceptable natural-variation tolerances. Include who inspects slabs and the acceptance criteria for visible defects.
Set template, fabrication, and installation dates; define site readiness conditions and required access windows. State remedies for installer-caused delays and a process for mutually agreeing new dates when delays occur.
Detail deposit percentage, progress payments tied to milestones, retainage (if any), accepted payment methods, timing for final payment, and late-payment remedies including interest and collection costs.
Require written change orders that describe the change, incremental cost, and schedule impact. Make written approval mandatory before additional work proceeds to avoid disputes about extra charges.
Assign responsibility for damage and require general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Include indemnity language, limits on consequential damages, and clear remedies for installation defects or breach.
