Redsy,
I use to work for a lot of different GC's and you had to watch out for them. One of my GC's was starting to "turn bad" by always being ahead of me in the money payments. I got wise to him on the last job I was going to do for him, and I upped all my prices for the job and made him pay in advance. This way when he "stiffed" me for the last payment, I didn't care. I already got my money from him and then some. Another GC we had to go to court with ( Small claims here in NJ) The bill for extras was about $7,000 But I had to drop the bill to $5,000 to go to small claims at the time. By the time the GC and my lawyer settled out of court the final payment was $4400. I didn't mind that but the lawyer took a $1,400 cut from the bill and then to add salt to the wound, he gave me back that $1400 and told me it was a "down payment" on a job I was going to do for him. SO, I had to work for that $1400 TWICE! Ya Gotta Luv It!!!
