Contractor scope creep without formal change orders is a service problem in Home & DIY. It has a heat score of 24 (demand) and competition score of 38 (existing solutions), creating an opportunity score of 34.3.
Homeowners request additional work mid-project and can't track what's included in original price versus new add-ons, leading to disputes about final invoices. Contractors verbally agree to additions then surprise homeowners with extra charges.
