A California home improvement contract is subject to the ordinary progress-payment restrictions, with no applicable statutory exception. The schedule demands a rough-plumbing progress payment before work or material delivery. What correction is appropriate?

Correct Answer

B) Revise the schedule to reflect completed work and delivered materials, apart from the permitted down payment.

For this ordinary home improvement payment schedule, count completed work and materials already delivered. A supplier order alone does not establish delivery. Correct the schedule before collection.

Answer Options
A
Keep the date because advance payment helps the contractor manage cash.
B
Revise the schedule to reflect completed work and delivered materials, apart from the permitted down payment.
C
Move the rough plumbing amount into the final payment line without describing it, while keeping the early phase price hidden from the owner.
D
Collect the amount as a supplier deposit outside the home improvement contract.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

For this ordinary home improvement payment schedule, count completed work and materials already delivered. A supplier order alone does not establish delivery. Correct the schedule before collection.
