"YOU TOUCH IT, YOU OWN IT"
In short, my question is: Do you guys use a waiver form of some kind?
As a sub would I get a signature from the HO or GC? Any input or food for thought would be great.
(long winded version)
For the most part I abide by that saying. ^ However, I do Sub work for a builder, remodel stuff. Sometimes I find my self in the predicament of replacing a rotten post on a "tear-down" deck....finishing tile on hardi I did not lay....stuff like that. I hate pick up work but I do it as part of\or to get the big jobs as well.
I communicate with the homeowners about the situation. (for example) "all I did was make sure that post is doing its job, I did not stabilize the deck in any way. It needs replaced IMO." Obviously this convo means nothing legally.
I worry what could happen to me legally if a deck collapsed, tiles break, ect.
I am see my attorney friend soon, but I would like to hear from fellow contractors first.
Thank you for your time.
