I ordered my own tile, had it delivered to my home to the work area. I paid for the tile job after it was done. I learned a lesson not giving money up front. I had a company take down a huge palm after the hurricane. He left the logs in our yard and wanted all of the money. Said FEMA would pick up the logs that week. I withheld $500 enough to pay someone else to remove the logs if FEMA didn't come that week. Of course we all know how long it took FEMA to come. The tree service showed up two days later with a truck and 5 men to pick up the logs and the owner showed up five minutes later to collect his $500.
