Contractors overbill for small change orders without written agreement is a service problem in Home & DIY. It has a heat score of 24 (demand) and competition score of 37 (existing solutions), creating an opportunity score of 31.7.
Homeowners agree to minor scope changes during renovation but contractors verbally promise additional charges that balloon unexpectedly at project end. No standardized way exists for field contractors to document change orders in real-time, leading to disputes over what was actually agreed to versus what's being billed.
