I am doing a full rehab of a kitchen, bath, dining and sun rooms. I have a proposal in which only 3% of the contract amount is withheld until completion.

This seems low to me? Is there a standard amount?

In my business, the law allows 30% deposit. I request weekly draws for materials and labor up to 20% of contract, which is held till final punch and customer's approval.
