If he is a licensed contractor then you have more leverage than if he is just a handyman. Only provide payment in advance if the company has a license.

If he does have a license then you can file a complaint:

And if it is worth your time file a police report and take him to small claims.
I don't agree with paying in advance just because a contractor has a license. Yes, you can file a complaint, but that won't get your money back. Also calling the police or going to small claims court will not get your money back.
