Even for 1 or 2 year contracts need to be paid before any work is started.

If there are materials to be ordered, yes then maybe a part of that expense.

I send many nice company's/people packing when they ask for payment up front.

Do your job, show me what you can do, then we'll talk payment with maybe a tip.

What your thoughts on this?

Cheers!
I agree if money up front is required , check the company your are dealing with. We had a large birdcage built and a full roof replaced, neither company required up front money. Same happened with our granite kitchen and bath counter tops. Check who you are doing business with.
