I've never paid any sort of contractor with cash - my experience has been that they all take checks. I can't think of any instance where a check was refused. (Not talking about friends!) I mean, if they come to your house and know where you live? That's kind of half the battle?

Um, all the contractors I've worked with have NOT taken CC. They don't want to pay a fee so it's all by check. And most do not take CC. They aren't big enough to warrant the fee.

Some of my contractors cash the check at the bank that day, so you'd better have the funds.
