Crew partners operate their own businesses and control how the work is performed within the written specification. Nothing in this relationship creates employment, partnership, or agency, and crew partners are responsible for their own taxes, workers' compensation where required, and business filings.
Link to this sectionBefore the first job, a crew partner provides a current certificate of general liability insurance, proof of workers' compensation coverage where required, valid vehicle insurance, and any registration or licensing required by the jurisdiction where the work occurs. Coverage must stay current for the duration of the relationship.

Callbacks caused by workmanship are corrected by the crew partner who performed the work, at no charge to the homeowner.
