@Rod Desinord Contractors don't get paid for extending a job. They want to be in and out as quickly as possible, get final payment, and move on. If you want things to go smoothly, 

  • DON'T MAKE CHANGES MID STREAM.  
  • Make sure payment is on time
  • Be sure you do your due diligence before hiring, check references, licenses, bonds, etc.
