For a California home improvement contract, an owner emails a request for a different window model at the same price. No change order has been signed by both parties. What should happen before ordering?

Correct Answer

C) Use a written change order signed by the customer and contractor.

For the specified home improvement contract, record the substitution in a change order signed by both parties before proceeding. Price staying the same does not leave the specified product unchanged. An unexecuted request is not the completed change order.

Answer Options
A
Treat the email as enough because money does not change.
B
Order the model and update the contract after final inspection.
C
Use a written change order signed by the customer and contractor.
D
Ask the supplier to decide whether the model substitution matters.

Why This Is the Correct Answer

For the specified home improvement contract, record the substitution in a change order signed by both parties before proceeding. Price staying the same does not leave the specified product unchanged. An unexecuted request is not the completed change order.
