What to do when a client doesn't pay

Working as a sub means you're the last to get paid — after the GC, after the homeowner. Sound familiar? Here's a simple escalation plan:

Day 1–3: Friendly reminder

A polite email referencing the invoice number and amount. Most clients pay after this.

Day 7–14: Firmer follow-up

Mention the late fee clause in your terms. Reference the original due date.

Day 30+: Final notice

State the total with accrued late fees. Mention next steps (collections, lien, small claims).

AI writes the reminders, tone escalates automatically, and you never send another awkward follow-up email again. $9/month, 30-day free trial.

How do I handle late payments as a drywall contractor?

Start with a polite reminder 1–3 days after the due date. If unpaid after 7 days, send a firmer follow-up. After 14+ days, consider a formal demand letter. Drywall subs often wait on GC payment.
