Due to a similar event years ago I told the home owner that if the invoice was not paid in full I would remove the pavers and not re install. His reply was that I would be tresspassing and once the materials are dropped at the clients property they than have legal possesion. I then sought council and the lawyer confirmed his remarks about about tresspass and possesion. The lawyer said I needed to write a clause at the bottom of contract which now reads " All materials remain property of Kaiser Maintenance untill balance of invoice is paid in full." This is right next to where the clients sign. 2 years later I had another short pay and when I showed him his signature next to the clause he pulled out his check book right then and there. Now ALL changes are documented and signed by the client no matter how big or small.
