CA law is 10% or $1,000 whichever is lower, as mentioned before.

But 10% for a job next year? Too early for that. Don't think it's justified. Many things can happen between now and next year.

In Canada you are required to be bonded with an insurance company before you can take money up front. This protects the customer and the contractor. The contractor gets to take money up front and the customer is protected by a government backed bond. If you are not bonded and take money up front you can lose your business license and not be allowed to attain a new one.

Really?

I've been doing it wrong all this time..... I would bet most guys are if this in fact the law. Never heard this before today.
