And don't just ask for, or settle for a couple two or three references. Ask for 6 to 10 of them - and they should be of the same type of work that you are having done.
When people ask me for references I always give them at least 8 and ask if they need more.
Also, insist on performance pay schedules. Every contract that I write (for the company I work for) is based on that.
I've been in the trades for over 30 years now - 16 years running my own business (VA Class A).
And I could write a book on the subject: from stupid ass contractors to stupid ass customers.
