8 Doc Download Bundle: The Homeowner Protection Toolbox
The 8 documents that protect you before, during, and after you hire a contractor.
You don't find out you needed a contractor checklist for homeowners until it's too late — until the bid you didn't compare correctly, the deposit you paid too fast, or the contract clause you never read costs you thousands. The 16 Things Toolbox is the set of tools that closes that gap.
Each document in this toolbox does one specific job: a bid request that forces apples-to-apples comparisons, a contract checklist that catches predatory clauses before you sign, a payment calculator that keeps your money tied to actual work completed, a dispute letter ready the moment something goes wrong, and a court prep guide for the day you need to get your money back. Every document works on its own — download the one you need right now and use it today. Used together with the book, they become the complete system: the why behind every decision, paired with the exact document that puts it into action.
Built for homeowners in the US and Canada — with provincial builders' lien rules, statutory holdbacks, and jurisdiction-specific filing limits baked in, not bolted on. This is not a contractor's paperwork template dressed up for the other side of the table. Every document here was written from the homeowner's side of the table, for the homeowner's protection.
You have more leverage than you think. These eight documents are how you keep it.
