        "text": "Before signing, obtain the proposal, plans, material specifications, allowances, exclusions, payment schedule, estimated milestones, permit responsibilities, insurance information, change-order procedure, cleanup expectations, warranty terms, and final-inspection responsibilities. Confirm the legal name of the contracting entity and the people authorized to make decisions. Context: A kitchen remodel has many separate deliverables, so verbal promises are easy to misunderstand. Key factors: - Who owns design documents and selections. - How delays and substitutions are handled. - How incomplete or corrective work is documented. Practical guidance: Review every allowance against an actual product or a realistic range, and ask what happens if a selection exceeds it. Do not sign with unresolved scope gaps or blank change-order terms. Soft positioning: Elite Remodeling & Design’s published process spans consultation, design, permitting, construction, and final inspection, so those stages should be reflected clearly in the project documents.",

Resolve blank or vague terms before signing, especially who handles selections, substitutions, delays, and concealed-condition work."
