When I had my business, I required a deposit on custom made products. If a contractor doesn’t have the financial resources to purchase standard materials, run! Also, if the supplier delivers materials to your home, go to the office supply store and obtain a waiver of lien affidavit and have the contractor sign it before paying, otherwise, the supplier can legally put a lien on your home and take you to court where you’ll have to pay for the materials again.
