How does invoicing/payment work for most Masonry Contractor projects in Mandan?

Every project differs, but you should ask any masonry contractor for an estimate, before they do any work. In fact, ask for their general payment terms before any masonry services work is done.

If the job is large and going to take longer than a day, it's common practice for masonry contractors to request a down payment. Usually, this will be around 25% so they can commence work on your masonry contractor project.

If it's a quick job, you'll likely be given an invoice/bill when the job is complete. Then it's up to you and the masonry contractor to determine if you pay immediately or can send payment at a later date.

What should I check for once my Masonry Contractor in Mandan has finished working?

Every masonry services project is going to have different results, but here are a few things to check for once any masonry services company has told you they've finished the job:

  • Obviously you want to do a visual inspection. Even if you're unfamiliar with masonry services work, this gives you the opportunity to ask questions (even basic ones like, what did you do?).
  • Ask the masonry contractor to describe what they did. Whether your masonry services project was a repair job or a building job, have them run you through what was done.
  • Compare the description provided on your masonry services project estimate to the work completed. Did the professional do what was promised?
  • Request that the masonry contractor do a follow-up visit to check on the work. Most professionals are willing to do this, especially if you ask them.
