Shortly into a $20-30k project I realized that the timeline Zac had estimated was way too aggressive based on the amount of labor being accomplished. In addition to putting down a large deposit, I was making significantly over-sized "progress payments" each week in comparison to the finished work. Twice I objected and both times, after an hour of his smooth-talking arguments, Zac agreed to a more realistic construction and payment schedule. This reduced my weekly payments to a more commensurate level, but each time, he responded by further under-staffing the job. For the final month, there was only 1 guy on the job. After about 3 months of headaches, including a fist fight that broke out on my front lawn, we removed him from the job (not that he was really on it anymore). In the end, I had overpaid by about $5,000, which I'll never see again.
