This site is loaded with complaints from people who pay money in advance to contractors, and then the contractor does not perform as promised. You should not need to pay anything in advance. But, if you absolutely need to pay in advance for materials only, make sure the contractor provides a written contract with a time limit, and will accept a credit card that can be disputed if he fails to perform. If not, find another contractor.
