For each line item on your scope of work, we follow this structure:
- 50% deposit is due before we begin that specific line item
- 50% completion payment is due after that line item is finished and approved
We only request deposits for work we’re actually starting that week — not for the entire job up front. This gives you control, flexibility, and confidence that work is getting done before the next payment is due.
Example Payment Flow
Let’s say your project includes:
| Scope Item | Price |
| Foundation | $10,000 |
| Roofing | $8,000 |
| Kitchen Remodel | $12,000 |
Week 1: Foundation begins
- 🔹 We request $5,000 (50% deposit for foundation)
- 🔹 Upon completion of foundation, we request the remaining $5,000
- 🔹 Roofing is next — we now request the $4,000 deposit for that
Week 2: Roofing begins
- 🔹 Once roofing is completed, we request the final $4,000
- 🔹 Kitchen is next — we now request the $6,000 deposit
Week 3+: Kitchen remodel
- 🔹 Once kitchen is complete, we collect the final $6,000
Total paid:
- Payments were staggered and tied directly to visible progress
- No bulk payments for work that hasn’t started
- You always know where your money is going
What if multiple tasks overlap?
In larger projects, some scopes overlap — for example, we might begin bathroom and kitchen work simultaneously.
In that case, we may request deposits for both line items in the same week so we can schedule crews accordingly. This is always explained up front, and the work begins immediately after.
Why We Use This System
- It protects both the client and the company
- It keeps projects moving without delays from unpaid materials or idle labor
- It creates clear accountability for each phase
- It eliminates confusion about what’s been paid for — and what hasn’t
This structure is one of the reasons our projects finish faster and cleaner than most — everything is scoped, tracked, and tied to actual production.
