Change Work Order Double Pricing

CaliforniaChange Orders

How do I confirm I am not paying twice on a Change Work Order? The original contract included refurbishment of the porch which included; Siding & architectural details Installing porch railings & columns Exterior framing of porch Painting We determine there was more damage to the porch then originally thought and my contractor provided a Change Work Order. In review it looks like he wants to charge for the same items in the original contract which he has already been paid without giving credit. Siding Installing porch railings & columns Exterior framing of porch Painting Is it proper to have a separate contractor estimate the porch rebuild?

Have another contractor, or attorney experienced in construction law, review the: contract, estimate, plans, related invoices, permit sign off sheet, and Change Order. Pictures always help.

To figure out whether you are being charged twice you need to compare the plans and specifications for the contract work and compare it to the asserted change order work
You could have another contractor help on that assessment but that is not commonly done
