5 Make sure all project expectations are in writing and only sign the contract if you completely understand the terms.

6 Confirm that the contractor has workers' compensation insurance for employees.

7 Never pay more than 10% down of $1,000, whichever is less. Don't pay in cash.

8 Don't let payments get ahead of the work.

10 Don't make the final payment until you're satisfied with the job.
