If your in business for yourself you have to watch out for #1
My contract basically states 6 months max for retainage and work is that is found defective I must be notified in writing with a certified letter and given a chance to fix any problems. Without notification all claims are null and void. Any unpaid balance after 6 months is subject to interest and legal action will be paid for if a lawsuit arises from non payment.
I had my attorney draw up the document and it's about 2 pages. If they don't sign I dont work.
I normally work for the MSO and once and awhile for a prime and have never had an issue.
