There are plenty of profitable contractors who will do work before getting paid. Customers who don't pay are one of the many costs of doing business that contractors need to plan for. As a customer, if a contractor demands money in advance, it is a red flag that you are probably dealing with someone who is underfinanced, unreliable, and someone you should not be doing business with.
