I'm not a big beliver in reimburse later.
The contractor always want the easy way so he might buy expensive stuff.
I buy ALL MATERIALS.
I create a shopping cart with light fixtures, tiles, vanities, wood floors ect and the contractor going to pick it up from home depot.
Any additional materials he may go to home depot and do a phone sale.
In a flip this little things can add up to be a huge expense. I would recommend you to be on top if it.
