At times I've had to pay a portion up front, others not until completion of the job.
Sometimes payment can be broken down by milestones (ex. 10% at signing, 20% at start of work, 30% at midpoint, 50% upon completion).
The main thing is that the terms and milestones are listed in the contract before anything is signed.
And if there is no contract to sign, there should be no work performed.
This is to protect both parties. It is the only way to prove what the scope of work is and remedies for violations.
