No money up front if they don't have the money for the material you probably don't need to work with them 100% no exceptions

No money up front if they don't have the money for the material you probably don't need to work with them 100% no exceptions Its kind of a two way street there. Technically if no money has been exchanged then the contract isnt a contract. The person who signed it is free to walk away. It can work against the contractor as well. Not much recourse at that point either. Its all about perspective and the bottom line business. The days of a handshake deal are sadly over. Its really not cut and dry as some portray

I've only been here for a bit under two years, but I bought a "fixer upper" so I have dealt with A/C, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscape, excavation contractors and a General Contractor. So far, I have been 100% satisfied with all of them. (I walked away from several)
It really isn't tough: perform some basic due diligence and apply a dose of common sense. Importantly, always follow your gut feelings.

Marc Yup, its not that hard. The people that complain the most are usually the problem...

Oh, I don't think that folks who have contractor problems are to blame. Some people are just too trusting sometimes.
