Q: Is it normal for a contractor to ask for 50% down?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s not unusual for a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-i-pay-general-contractor-prior-starting-job.htm">contractor to ask for 50% down</a> before starting a project, as they may need to start hiring crew members and purchasing materials and equipment before they can start. However, they should never ask for more than 50% up front or request you pay in full before work has begun. To help protect yourself from losing money, have a written contract that outlines the project timeline and expectations. Only hire reputable contractors to work on your home, and be sure to check their licensing and insurance before hiring.</p></div>

Q: Could I get a concrete slab instead?

• <div><p>If you're only working with a gravel pad, and there is no concrete foundation, you might be able to upgrade to a concrete slab, but you&rsquo;d have to speak with a professional concrete expert to confirm and get pricing. If you have a concrete foundation or cement block walls around the area where you want to build flooring, you might be able to pour a new concrete floor over the existing one to forgo repairs. Again, speak with a concrete expert or foundation company to see if this is an option.</p></div>
