Scope
Precise description of the work to be added or changed, including square footage, layout pattern, tile type, and substrate preparation requirements to avoid interpretation disputes.
A clear, signed upgrade document prevents disputes by recording agreed changes to cost, timing, and workmanship; it preserves warranty terms and helps satisfy permit or inspection requirements while protecting both homeowner and contractor.
This document is completed when a change to tile scope or specifications is proposed and requires written agreement from both parties.
Signed addenda establish clear expectations and become part of the contract record for permitting, inspections, payment, and warranty purposes.
