Contracts & ExecutionQuestion 769 of 1605
A contractor uses one contract to cover both a $400 gutter cleaning and a $9,000 addition, calling the whole thing a 'service call.' The addition portion:
a.Requires a full home improvement contract complying with §7159
b.Can avoid §7159 by bundling
c.Needs only a verbal quote
d.Is exempt as maintenance
Explanation
A $9,000 room addition is a home improvement well over $500; it cannot escape §7159's requirements by being bundled with a minor service task.
