Sadly, one does need to be careful on who you hire and how payment should be made. I too generally agree with everything said so far....the more reputable contractors are usually set up to handle cash flow well without unreasonable demands.
I think sometimes the problems you read about stem from when one hires less well known businesses that do not have a well known presence or a good reputation that took years to build. Their attraction is many times being cheaper or "I can be there this Thursday..." The best guys are usually not the cheapest and usually can't start the job tomorrow.
The cheapest guy is often the cheapest because of cutting corners or is "learning the trade" on your job. He may not know the true costs of running a business and may indeed be out of business before the warranty he gives you expires.
In this internet age it is easy to learn about the improvement you are having done. Do some homework. Go see examples of other projects like what you want and ask the owners what small things made the quality difference. Often it is the small details that make the difference in both materials and installation as well as design.
Hope this helps! Respectfully, Frank
