Terms & Conditions

The following terms are standard on all contracts:

CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT

This Construction Agreement (“Agreement”) is made between Torres Signature Concrete LLC (“Contractor”) and Homeowner.

1. SCOPE OF WORK: Contractor agrees to perform the services described in the attached Estimate.

2. CHANGE ORDERS: All changes require a written Change Order, which will adjust the contract price.

3. PERMITS: Homeowner is responsible for obtaining and paying for all required building permits, unless otherwise agreed to in the Estimate.

4. MATERIALS AND DEBRIS REMOVAL: Materials and debris removal are as specified in the attached Estimate. Unless otherwise specified, debris removal, including excavation and concrete removal, is the responsibility of the Contractor. Contractor will leave the property in a reasonably clean condition upon completion.

5. COMMENCEMENT AND DELAYS: Work will commence within 30 days of the Agreement, weather permitting. Contractor is not responsible for delays caused by factors beyond Contractor’s reasonable control, including but not limited to: weather, availability of materials, labor shortages, accidents, and government regulations. Contractor aims to provide a stress-free experience from start to finish.

6. CANCELLATION RIGHTS: Pursuant to the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act and regulations governing home improvement contracts (N.J.A.C. 13:45A-16), Homeowner may cancel this Agreement before midnight of the third business day after receiving a signed copy. To cancel, send written notice by certified mail to Contractor’s address.

Torres Signature Concrete LLC, 8 Lombardy St #41903, Newark, NJ 07102

If you cancel, any payments made by you under the contract must be returned to you within thirty (30) days following receipt by the contractor of your cancellation notice.

7. COMPLETION: Work will be completed in a reasonable timeframe, depending on the scope of work and conditions. Any completion date provided is an estimate only.

8. UNFORESEEN CONDITIONS: The contract price aims to be on budget but does not include costs for unforeseen conditions (e.g., unsafe conditions, structural issues) discovered after work begins. These will be addressed in a Change Order.

9. LIMITED WARRANTY: Contractor warrants the concrete installation for a period of one (1) year, and for such longer warranty period as may be stated in the proposal, invoice, or selected package, against major defects caused by Contractor’s workmanship, limited to: (a) loss of structural integrity, (b) defects due to improper installation, and (c) surface defects substantially exceeding normal minor cracking, checking, color variation, or ordinary wear for exterior concrete.

This limited warranty excludes natural wear and tear, damage from heavy impact, damage from tree roots, poor drainage, subgrade movement, soil settlement/heaving, erosion/washout, overloading / heavy vehicles or equipment beyond intended residential use, and damage from harmful chemicals.

This limited warranty is void if the concrete is altered by any party other than Contractor or if routine maintenance is neglected.

This limited warranty does not cover hairline shrinkage cracking, scaling, spalling, flaking, pop-outs, or other surface deterioration caused or contributed to by freeze-thaw exposure, standing water, snow or ice left on the surface for extended periods, or use of deicing chemicals or ice-melt products.

To report an issue, Homeowner must contact Contractor within the applicable warranty period and provide the original invoice. Contractor’s sole obligation shall be, at Contractor’s option, to repair, reseal, refinish, or replace the affected area. Any repair does not extend the original warranty term.

10. PAYMENT: Payment will be made as follows: $500 deposit, 50% due upon start, and the remaining balance due upon completion. If payment is not received within 7 days of completion, a 1.5% monthly interest charge may be applied to the outstanding balance. Any changes that increase the contract price are due upon signing the Change Order.

11. NON-PAYMENT: If Homeowner fails to make payment, Homeowner is responsible for all attorney’s fees and collection costs. The Homeowner agrees that failure to pay in full upon completion entitles the Contractor to file a construction lien in accordance with N.J.S.A. 2A:44A.

12. LIABILITY INSURANCE: Contractor maintains general liability insurance. Proof of insurance will be provided to Homeowner upon request.

13. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement and the attached Estimate contain the entire agreement. No oral agreements are valid.

14. ACCEPTANCE: This Agreement may be executed and delivered by electronic transmission, including email, and shall be deemed effective upon transmission of a signed counterpart or written acceptance by either party.
