FAQ

Ohio retainage limits and deadlines On public construction projects (with the exception of residential projects of 12 units or fewer) the amount of retainage that can be withheld is 8% from each progress payment. Upon 50% completion, no more retainage may be withheld on the remaining progress payments.

Section 153.63 | Agreement for escrow account for contractor. Ohio Revised Code. Title 1 State Government. Chapter 153 Public Improvements.

Retainage limits On public construction projects in Ohio, the amount of retainage is capped at no more than 8% of the total contract value. However, when the project reaches 50% completion and satisfactory progress is being made, no more retainage may be withheld for the remainder of the project.

As a general rule of thumb your contractor rate should be at least 50% more than you'd get for the same work as an employee.

The law also places a limit on the amount a contractor can take as a down payment or deposit before work starts. Unless there are custom or specialty orders for materials, the contractor cannot ask for more than 10% upfront before work starts.

Ohio's Right to Cure Law is intended as a means to help homeowners and their contractors amicably resolve their disputes. Used appropriately and meaningfully, the statute can assist in the resolution of claims by both Owners and Contractors. A home is an Owner's most valuable investment.
