I never insist that a contractor be insured. Any insurance they have will protect the contractor, not you. It is also very difficult to verify the amount of the insurance and if it is current.

Never pay any money in advance.
They should be insured and bonded. I disagree with your thought. Also, before payment to the contractor, be sure they provide you a signed lien release if one exists.
