How should I store the signed document?

Store signed files in PDF/A or other stable formats with access controls; retain originals for the active term plus at least three years, longer where warranties or regulations apply.

What if parties change after signing?

Amend the document with a signed addendum listing the new party, effective date, and retained obligations; do not rely on verbal transfers for contract novation.

Can photos be part of the record?

Yes. Attach dated photos showing pre- and post-work conditions and reference them in the document to support completion and warranty claims.

Is homeowner consent to electronic records required?

For consumer-facing transactions, provide a consumer consent disclosure per ESIGN (15 U.S.C. §7001(c)) and verify the signer can access records electronically before proceeding.
