AnswerState law puts a maximum down payment of 10% or $1,000 (whichever is less) before work starts.

Of course, if you sign the contract one day and pay $1,000 and the contractor starts on the second day, the contract can legally ask for the full amount of the contract any time after he begins work. So, this is significant only between the date of signing and the date the work begins.
