http://www.homebuildingandrepairs.com Most people think that when they sign a contract, they can't get out of it without paying large sums of money to an abusive contractor. I'm here to tell you that this might not be the case, especially if you live in the state of California and other states who have three day cancellation clauses. If you sign a contract, you usually have three working days which doesn't include Saturday and Sunday to change her mind. These laws usually apply to the vehicles also. I'm not suggesting that the three day cancellation notice is enforced in every state, but it is something that you should look into, if you're thinking about canceling a contract. Simply work something out with your contractor that's acceptable to both of you and your contractor will usually let you out of the contract. If you're a contractor looking to get out of a contract with a homeowner, simply ask a homeowner if they could find another contractor and try to work things out to where both parties are in agreement.
