Contractors cannot ask for a deposit of more than 10 percent of the total cost of the job or $1,000, whichever is less. (This applies to any home improvement project, including swimming pools.) Stick to your schedule of payments and don't let payments get ahead of the completed work.
Markups vary from one contractor to the next and possibly from one project to the next. But as a general guide, the typical markup on materials will be between 7.5 and 10%. However, some contractors will mark up materials as much as 20 percent, according to the Corporate Finance Institute.
