I have terms and conditions listed on my estimates and I use estimates as a contract for the residential service work that I do. The customer agrees and signs it before I do the work. One of the terms that is at the top of the front page is "Payment due upon completion of work".
I have never had a problem with this. Everyone pays when we finish. The only exceptions are when working for a condo association or something like the or when the customer isn't home when we finish. That is understandable.
Today after finishing up a service change, the customer had his wife give me a check for 1/3 the job amount. 1/3 was given up front as a deposit. She said that her husband wanted to leave the final third until after the inspection.
Is it wrong for me to not be happy with this?
