Paying contractors

I have some guys working on a house that I am going t rent - The main guy works for $22/hour and his helper works for $15 - so on a 40 hour work week I am paying these guys $1480 -

They are doing everything from painting/floors/tile/cleaning and everything else.

So the problem is - I am not there to monitor there 40 hour work week. I do drive buys and stop in unexpectedly and always find them there, but I feel they might be milking the job based on the time it took other guys to do my previous 2 houses.

So how does most BP members pay contractors. Do you have them bid on the job or do you find guys to do it hourly.
