Q: Is it normal for a contractor to ask for a down payment, and how much should you pay up front?

The deposit amount can range from 10% to 50% of the total job cost.

Additionally, be sure to hire reputable contractors and check their licensing and insurance before the project begins.</p></div>

"Amanda was really very good! At first I was very skeptical, thinking why did I pay money to just speak with someone on the phone about my kitchen remodel project... but after just a few minutes of her addressing some of the issues/questions I emailed to her earlier, I knew it was worth it. It was very clear that she knew her business and she gave me several ideas that I had not even thought about. I told her that I would definitely recommend her to friends and I will very likely use her again myself for my next home project!
