California's Home Solicitation Sales Act allows the buyer in almost any consumer transaction involving $25 or more, which takes place in the buyer's home or away from the seller's place of business, to cancel the transaction within three business days after signing the contract.

For sales made in homes, such as when a roofing contractor knocks on your door, inspects your roof, and you sign the contract, the homeowner has three days in which to cancel the contract with no reason. The representative must tell you about your right to cancel at the time of the sale with a full refund.

You have an absolute right to cancel within the three day period. After that, you can still cancel, but the contractor may be able to claim breach of contract and try to enforce the contract.
