Consider an Owner’s Representative for your Home Improvement Contract
https://rjilaw.com/article/consider-an-owners-representative-for-your-home-improvement-contract
When an ordinarily calm contractor and homeowner disagree during a project, either one or both may find himself shaking with anger and frustration. In my experience, homeowners and contractors routinely talk past one another, with neither one giving the other the understanding they feel they are due. We could call it “the invisible nail pop syndrome,” an otherwise humorless situation...

Can I Fire My Contractor?
https://www.rjilaw.com/article/can-i-fire-my-contractor
Every couple of months, somebody asks me if they can fire their contractor. My answer is always, “Yes! Absolutely!” When his or her face brightens I always add, “That doesn’t mean you won’t get sued for it, though.” When you fire a contractor without paying her price in full, you breach your contract. When you breach an enforceable contract, you...

New Jersey Home Improvement Contract Change Orders

Practice Tip: Submit an OPRA Request for the Permit File
https://rjilaw.com/article/practice-tip-submit-opra-request-permit-file
Extra-contractual remedies such as bond claims, liens and statutory trusts allow attorneys to recover for clients outside the ordinary avenues of the law, where personal responsibility by fault or breach is the normal threshold to a cause of action. The experienced construction litigator always investigates a new case to see if the pleadings can include claims for extra-contractual remedies.

Rip Off the Law for a Better Public Adjuster Contract
https://rjilaw.com/article/rip-off-the-law-for-a-better-public-adjuster-contract
At a trade conference a few years ago I gave a talk called “Rip Off the Law for a Better Contract.” I told our group how consumer contracts did more than apportion risk the way commercial contracts do. Consumer contracts, I argued, were a government-driven vehicle to inform consumers of their rights.

NJ Consumer Fraud Law: Completion vs. Substantial Completion
https://rjilaw.com/article/nj-consumer-fraud-law-completion-vs-substantial-completion
Property owners and contractors voluntarily distort and shift their legal rights and obligations by written contract. In my practice, I see far too little thought given to their terms of agreement, and far too much of the tragicomic results. Where an ounce of prevention could have prevented a pound of cure, a ton of misery winds up in court.
