The lead promise
Finished on time, or you get paid.
Most contractors give you a start date and a shrug. We put your completion date in writing, and if we miss it for reasons within our control, you receive a schedule credit. The date is the promise, not a hope.
Contract clause · plain language
Eligibility. Signed projects at or above the $25,000 minimum.
When the clock starts. Your completion date is set at the pre-construction walkthrough and posted in your portal.
If we run late. For delays within our control, a credit at substantial completion, on the tiered schedule below.
Weather, permits and inspections, HOA timing, change orders and supply-chain delays are excusable and pause the clock.
How it works
A real date, engineered before we break ground.
01
We plan the whole build first
Permits, selections, long-lead items and utility locates are cleared before we commit to a date, so the date is real.
02
The date goes in writing
Your completion date is set at the pre-construction walkthrough, written into your agreement, and posted at the top of your project portal.
03
You track it daily
Daily photos and updates in the portal show progress against the date, so there are no surprises at the end.
Schedule credit tiers
If we finish late, here is exactly what you get.
Credited at substantial completion, for delays within our control. One tier applies, capped at 10% of project value.

Questions
Straight answers, before you call.
What is the On-Time Completion Guarantee?
For signed projects at or above the $25,000 project minimum, your completion date is set in writing at the pre-construction walkthrough. If substantial completion runs late for reasons within our control, a schedule credit applies: $1,000 at 8 to 14 days late, $2,000 at 15 to 21 days, and 10% of project value at 22 or more days. Only one tier applies per project, and the credit is capped at 10% of project value.
What delays are excusable?
Delays outside our reasonable control pause the schedule and move the completion date out accordingly. They include weather; permit issuance, inspections and jurisdictional timing; HOA or architectural-review timing; owner-requested change orders or selection changes; undisclosed or concealed site conditions; and supply-chain or material-availability delays. Paused time does not count toward days late.
What warranty comes with the work?
Workmanship coverage is stated by scope. Pavers, porcelain, artificial turf and walls carry a 2-year workmanship warranty. Concrete, natural stone, irrigation and decomposed granite carry a 1-year workmanship warranty. Manufacturer warranties on materials pass through per each manufacturer's own terms. The on-time completion date remains the lead promise.
