Roof replacement

Posted by Phil Trager, on
One of your members is replacing a roof for me and is asking to paid in cash at the end when he gives the invoice. Is this a normal practice or should I have concerns?

Good afternoon Mr Trager. Often a tradesman will ask for "cash on completion" of a project. You will still be entitled to any guarantees or assurances that come with the job in question. Cash is of course the quickest way to transfer funds from one party to another, as a tradesman myself I can testify to the struggle of cash flow management .
