2. Theoretically, no. But that makes little sense for either party. It provides no expectations or protection for either the contractor or the home owner. The typical process is for the contractor to provide a written estimate - with details on the scope of work to be performed, a price (either firm or estimated. If estimated - factors that affect the price variation should always be spelled out), and contractual agreement details. Keep this in mind. The number one reasons for court cases in small claims court involve disputes between contractors and buyers, and the expectation of what was promised compared to what was delivered.
