🐾 The Adventures of Shady the Contractor: The Change Order Shuffle
Homeowner: "How much will this cost?"
Shady: "About $50,000."
A few weeks later...
💰 $65,000
💰 $82,000
💰 $97,000
💰 $118,000
Meanwhile, Cooper has been reviewing the numbers and has some serious concerns.
Not every change order is improper. Legitimate project changes happen.
But when costs keep climbing without clear explanations, documentation, or approval, homeowners can quickly find themselves paying far more than they expected.
Before approving any change order, make sure you understand:
✔ What work is changing
✔ Why the change is necessary
✔ How much it will cost
✔ Whether it affects the project schedule
✔ Whether it is documented in writing
As Cooper always says, if the math doesn't make sense, it's time to start asking questions.
