As far as paying with a credit card, I've notice some will add the retail acceptance fee to the price of the job.
Any reputable contractor should accept credit card payments, even if he charges the small bank fee to the customer. For materials, the customer can purchase expensive materials directly and have them delivered to the project. But, some contractors require a cash or check deposit before they perform any work. If that is the case, I would not do business with them.
