I was just informed by one contractor to pay 80% in cash up front and get on the waiting list. The next available date is looking like some time in September. And I have been waiting for five years to save the money to get this done.

@SW-User never in my life heard of an 80% deposit! For anything!!

@SW-User Neither had I. Then contractor #2 called this afternoon to say they wanted 100% up front and they are charging much more than contractor #1. Plus, they had the audacity to pencil in $65 shipping fee at the end of the quote.... Back to square one.
