Browse Forums Kitchen Corner 1 Jun 06, 2011 12:30 pm Is it standard practice for stonemasons to require final payment BEFORE installation? Would you commit to this? Are they just trying to get out of having to replace and fix their mistakes if I am not happy with their work? Re: Stone benchtop - Final Payment: BEFORE installation 4Jun 06, 2011 5:44 pm humble Short answer.. no.. Longer answer.. no way in hell. Money talks, install first and then when satisfactory payment is made. Your right on the money. No way I would pay before installation The only companys who ask for payment upfront are afraid they wont get payment after you see the job.
