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

Technically if no money has been exchanged then the contract isn�t 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. It�s all about perspective and the bottom line business. The days of a handshake deal are sadly over. It�s 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.
