Dallas Home Services Lawyers

Home services law covers the contracts, supplier agreements, licensing rules, and customer-facing obligations that keep HVAC, pest-control, lawn-care, plumbing, electrical, and remodeling companies running smoothly. One partnership rift, supplier failure, or breach of a service agreement can stall schedules, drain cash flow, and harm hard-earned reputations.


Roquemore Skierski’s Dallas-based home services lawyers work with owner-operators, service managers, and investors across Texas who face serious business challenges. Our clients are hands-on professionals who drive service vans, oversee field crews, and need legal guidance that is clear, practical, and focused on results.


When we take on a matter, we bring clarity and direction. Whether you are enforcing a supplier contract, resolving a partner dispute, or structuring a multi-location expansion, we design legal strategies that work in the real world. Your time, money, customer trust, and future growth are on the line, and we fight to protect every one of them.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ's

A home-services company most often argues over profit allocation, day-to-day decision-making authority, capital contributions for new trucks or equipment, and territory expansion. Clear operating or partnership agreements prevent many conflicts. When disputes arise, prompt mediation or litigation keeps the business on schedule and preserves customer relationships.

A business can issue a formal demand letter that cites the signed service agreement and itemized invoice. If the customer still fails to pay, the company may file a mechanic’s lien on the property (for qualifying construction-related services), pursue collection in small-claims or district court, and seek attorney’s fees under the Texas Prompt Payment Act or contract fee-shift provisions. Prompt action preserves leverage and maximizes recovery.

The owner should record every missed shipment or defective component, source replacement parts to limit downtime, and review the contract’s notice-and-cure language. Early legal action preserves leverage for settlement or, if necessary, a lawsuit for damages.

 

A home-services company can act immediately by freezing the partner’s access to bank accounts, inventory, and job-management software. The company should hire forensic accountants to trace missing cash and equipment, secure an injunction to prevent further dissipation of assets, and demand a formal accounting through litigation. Texas courts also allow claims for breach of fiduciary duty, conversion, and civil theft, which can include recovery of treble damages and attorney’s fees. Early legal action protects working capital, preserves evidence, and maximizes the chance of full recovery.

A sale agreement for a home-services business should include purchase-price adjustments tied to customer retention, representations on licensing and warranties, non-compete covenants, transition-services obligations, and post-closing indemnities. An escrow holdback secures the seller against undisclosed liabilities.

In Texas, a landlord may proceed with eviction unless both parties sign a written modification or forbearance agreement. Early legal guidance helps negotiate binding rent-relief terms and prevents a default judgment.

Texas law allows four years from the date of breach to file suit on a written contract. Acting quickly protects evidence, maintains leverage, and avoids last-minute litigation costs.

Equal-ownership partners can avoid impasse by including rotating tie-breaker votes, buy-sell triggers, or mandatory mediation in their operating agreement. Without such mechanisms, the partners may need judicial dissolution or appointment of a receiver.

Personal guarantees are common, particularly for newer home-services businesses with limited credit history. A limited or step-down guarantee tied to on-time payments reduces long-term personal exposure.

Arbitration offers privacy and faster timelines but can be more expensive upfront and provides limited grounds for appeal. The dispute-resolution clause should match the parties’ bargaining power, need for confidentiality, and tolerance for cost.
