Normally, I would never pay for any work in advance. But, if you need to pay for custom cabinets, I would require that the contractor accept a credit card payment and guarantee in writing that they will be delivered in a time period less than 60 days, which is the credit card dispute time period. Then, you can dispute the credit card charge, and the bank will credit your account. It may be necessary to include the words "time is of the essence" in the agreement. If a contractor would not accept that condition, they wouldn't get my business
