If you're going to use a legit contractor not some handy man make him sign a contract that lists the complete scope of work. He should have insurance and you should be holding back 10% off each invoice (assuming it's more then 1 month to complete) not to be paid out until the work is complete per your agreement. So many guys working out of their truck want to charge the same as established contractors but want terms like you're their employer which is bullshit.

Now if you're going to use some guy doing it all on his own who is just a small time handyman it's different rules IMO. You might need to purchase the materials for him which is fine, that's one of the reasons you're saving so much money. Use your due diligence and be smart about it.
