  1. a small retainer is fine. think of it as reserving a spot. but, don't give him anything beyond that.


  2. NO

  3. No or if he insists then maybe 10% for petrol.

  4. They all work different ways 50% down is common to start the work, otherwise they could do the work and get stiffed. But the deposit is usually to buy supplies. If you trust him, ask what he prefers but paying in full up front is unusual, then they may drag their feet or if you don't like the work you're stuck.

  5. No I do not charge or collect until I am finished a job.

  6. No, payment in advance is usually for materials.

  7. Not a good idea.  You will have no control then.

  8. no way maybe u wont like the job or he can take his money and not finish the job
