I'm a Roofing Contractor I work so almost never look nice because I work all day and sometimes do offer discounts on materials in stock because I need to get rid of them for space. my office is my home and detached garage is my shop and have roofed 100s of homes without callbacks or issues best advice I can give is to look at his work history and take a good accessment of his character not every guy is out to rip you off but many are. They are likely trying to make there way in the world and if your needs meets his skills then you are helping each other. I went to work in New Orleans after Katrina and never changed my price one time and I'm from out of that state. when someone is trying to rip me off I can feel it and when
that happens walk away. If you listen to these guys you will deal with companys that have a estimator a forman and a owner the first 2 work per hr and have no insensitive to do a great job just enough to get by, with smaller companies reputation is everything and I know I aways do all the little extras because I know they will aways call again for other work or tell there friends. Just talk to your contractor get to know him alittle, and the thing I do agree with is don't do deposits unless you feel 100% sure and also ask him to leave his tools if he's coming tomorrow anyway.
