I believe they call this EXTORTION...we as a small independent mom and pop business owner of installations have never asked for payment up front for a job that is not completed..sure possibly for materials if there is a call for it..but never ask for full payment of $'s for an uncompleted job.
This is unheard of..what if you do pay them and they take off like alot of shoddy unreputible companies around?
I would not pay them however I would report them...as stated in previous post.
We do not ask for down payment at all at the start of a job...if the customer wishes to put a downpayment that is fine..but never the FULL payment.
