Why Service Agreements Are Essential for Successful Home Projects
In residential projects, verbal agreements are still very common. However, relying solely on memory leads to misunderstandings, missed expectations, unexpected costs, and even conflicts. Studies show that without formal documentation and follow-up, up to 90% of improvement plans fail to achieve meaningful changes (FolksRH).
Clear, written service agreements — combined with follow-up and action tracking — protect both homeowners and service providers. They ensure that every party knows exactly what to expect, fostering transparency, trust, and project success.
At ReConto, we make it simple to create, manage, and monitor service agreements for any type of home project — big or small.

Why Formal Agreements and Follow-Up Matter
1. Clear Expectations Reduce Disputes
A written agreement clarifies what is being delivered, when, and how — minimizing misunderstandings and disagreements.
2. Strengthened Legal Protection
In case of conflict, a signed service agreement serves as strong evidence, protecting both homeowners and providers.
3. Improved Execution and Accountability
When both sides document deliverables, payment schedules, and next steps, project execution becomes faster, clearer, and more reliable.
4. Stronger Relationships and Better Results
Providers appreciate clear, professional agreements and follow-ups. Studies show that agreements plus structured action plans can increase customer satisfaction by up to 30% (ManageBetter).
Best Practices When Creating Service Agreements
- Be extremely specific: Clearly define the scope, materials, deadlines, prices, and responsibilities.
- Agree on conditions for changes: Define how changes or additional costs will be handled.
- Review and align: Go through the agreement line by line with your provider to ensure full mutual understanding.
- Track progress: Monitor project milestones, updates, and completion confirmations inside ReConto.
- Update if needed: Amend agreements when changes occur to keep everything documented and transparent.
