First time using a contractor...

[Arthur Banks]

I'm scheduled to meet with a contractor tomorrow. The work needed, from my eye isn't much... carpet, paint, tile. Other than carpet, I could do the work myself, but I've learned it's much better to hire out and spend my time building my business. That being said, this would be the first time using a contractor. What questions do I need to ask? Contracts? Lien release? Pay schedule? I don't even know what I don't know to ask.

Thanks in advance. I tried searching the forums, but it's so much info out there and I didn't see this specific question after 1/2 hour of reading.
