A common method would $1500 down, $1500 after rough, $1500 after final, and $500 after CO/punchlist. Otherwise, you could use $2000/$2000/$1000.zappy said:So is there a % you use?Say parts and labor is $5000 what would you ask for as a deposit?
tyha said:EC's from NC check me but I think it may be illegal around here to ask for a deposit unless there is certain non returnable equipment or some sort of special condition. I do know for a fact that all the guys that get in trouble and go before the board have a certain part of their sentence stating that they are not to invoice until a certain portion of the work is complete and inspected.
You're right in CA.there is a law 10% or $1000 business & profession code#7159 unless your a big company like home depot.mdshunk said:I wonder how the flat rate guys get along in California? CA does have a rule that you can't get more than 10% down, but most flat rate systems require that the tech has a check in hand before he starts the work. Maybe they just have them sign on the dotted line, instead, then get them to pay immediately after the work is done?
