Your Relationship With Home Assist Members
What Happens if I Decide To Cancel My Project?
The decision to end or alter a project must be worked out between you and the service professional you hired. Expect to pay for work completed and materials purchased up to that point.
To help avoid misunderstandings that could result in a project’s termination, specific project information should be detailed in a formal contract. This would include: project description, materials to be used, start and finish dates, other project particulars, and any agreements between the project owner and service professional. The contract should be signed by both parties.
If a problem still develops, be sure to contact us and our arbitration team will be glad to help everyone come to an arrangement.
