When a contractor causes harm to property, a systematic approach is necessary to address the situation effectively. This could involve anything from minor scratches on a wall to significant structural damage. For example, a flooring installation gone wrong might damage existing subflooring, requiring costly repairs.
Handling such incidents properly is crucial for preserving property value and maintaining positive working relationships. A clear process for addressing damage helps ensure accountability and facilitates fair resolutions. Historically, resolving such disputes often relied on informal agreements or costly legal battles. Modern practices emphasize clear contracts and communication to minimize conflict and protect all parties involved.
