Free Change Order Form (PDF)
The change order is the single most profitable piece of paper in a service business, and it's the one almost nobody uses. Extra work happens on nearly every job. If it isn't signed for before you do it, you did it for free.
What's on the form
- Original contract amount reference
- Description of the added or removed work
- Added cost and revised total
- Schedule impact in days
- Customer signature required before work begins

The form is free. Closing the job is the hard part.
The Contractor Sales Starter Pack is five short PDFs: phone scripts, word-for-word answers to the ten price objections you hear every week, a Good/Better/Best estimate that lifts your average ticket, a follow-up playbook, and the review-request script. Nine dollars, instant download.

Common questions
- When do I need a change order?
- Any time the work differs from what the customer approved — added scope, discovered conditions, upgraded materials, or a schedule change that costs you money.
- Can I just text them?
- A text is better than nothing, but it won't hold up the way a signed form does. Take thirty seconds, get the signature, then pick the tools back up.
