In my mind, it depends on the job, installing a fence? They get paid when
the job is completed. Building a house, percentage draws, with the last draw
held until the punch-out list is completed to my satisfaction. So in answer
to your question, it depends.
One more thing to remember, if you hire a contractor, you are hiring someone
to do what YOU what, as an example we interviewed 3 contractors when we were
planning to blow out the roof and add a second floor to a rancher, all three
contractors said that it could not be done the way I wanted, so none of them
were hired and we did it ourselves, exactly as we had wanted it done. So
don't take no for an answer unless you have exhausted all resources.

You're not seriously suggesting that a contractor get no payment at all
until a job is completed, are you???
