Iā€™m in the process of hiring a contractor to replace the wood trim around the windows on my house. I think less than 5 days work. If the contractor requires full payment up front, I am very reluctant to do that. What is a reasonable payment schedule to pay a contractor?

Half down, the rest after completion is normal.
Make sure you check out the company first. See if they have a website with customer comments. Check with the BBB for their rating before you commit to anything.

I used to pay part down, and the rest when the job was finished. But be sure to get several references first, as some contractors are dishonest.
