No signature, no work.
Ask any contractor forum what to do about unpaid extras and that is the answer, every time. The reason almost nobody actually does it: writing up a change order takes 20 minutes and the customer is standing right there. So you say “yeah, no problem” — and at the final invoice they “don't recall that.”
ScopeSign makes the paperwork faster than the handshake.
Kitchen remodel, $18,000.
“While you're here, could you also do the quartz countertop on the island?” You say $2,400. Before anyone picks up a tool, their phone buzzes with the itemized change and the new project total.
Under a minute later you have a signature, a timestamp and a location — and they have their own copy.
- While you're here, could you also do the quartz countertop on the island?
- Sure — that's $2,400 more. Sending it over now.
- Got the text. Looks right

Questions contractors ask
What is a change order?
A change order is a written record of work added to or removed from the original contract, with the price and the new project total. It protects both sides by replacing a verbal “yeah, no problem” with something you can both point to later.
Do change orders need to be signed?
Yes — an unsigned change order is just a note to yourself. In many states written, signed authorization is what makes an extra collectible, and even where it isn't required, a signature is what ends the argument at the final invoice.
Is a text-message approval legally binding?
Electronic signatures are recognized under the federal ESIGN Act and UETA in nearly every US state; ScopeSign records a drawn signature plus timestamp, location and a full audit trail. We're not a law firm — check your contracts with an attorney.
Does my customer need to install anything?
No. They get a text with a link, review the itemized change in their phone browser and sign with their finger. No app, no account, no password.
What does it cost?
Your first three signed change orders are free — three that a customer actually signed, not three sent. After that it's $19.99 a month, $89.99 for six months, or $129.99 a year. That covers everything: unlimited change orders, both signatures, photos, reminders, the full audit trail, PDFs and exports. Change orders you have already had signed stay yours whether you subscribe or not.
