Premier Builders & Remodeling, in Williamstown, N.J., has been using this Homeowner Responsibilities form for two years. Owners Steve Feigeles and W. Scott Cooper wanted to prevent misunderstandings about what the homeowners and what the company will handle, and used the problems they’d had on past jobs as a base to create the form.

“When you read [the form], it looks like common sense,” Feigeles says. But, he adds, it is there to ensure that there are no gaps in interpretation of the rules. Feigeles and Cooper review the contract and the form with homeowners during the pre-construction meeting, and the homeowners initial the form when they sign the contract.
