Payment Milestones

⏳ Due

• Never pay more than 10-25% upfront

• Tie payments to completed milestones, not dates

• Hold 10% until punch list is complete

• Get lien waivers with each payment

• Pay by check or credit card (paper trail)

• Never pay cash — you lose all recourse

• Verify work matches contract before each payment

• Don't pay for materials stored off-site
