what is the percentage for a deposit that we can ask for before starting a residential job?

CaliforniaPay When Paid

We signed a contract and now they do not want to give a deposit for job. They want to pay as work has been done.

For residential remodeling projects (i.e., not ground up construction) you can ask for a deposit up to 10% of the contract price, or $1,000, whichever is less.
