What's wrong with "you do the job, and I will pay you"? Requests for big down payments mean the Contractor (usually) has no credit at the Supply House and must pay upfront for your materials. After all, if you did not pay upon job completion, Fla. law allows him to file a lien against your home. We never asked for any down payments. Owned my own company 24 yrs. in Orlando. 41 yrs. in the business.
